AUS OPEN PREVIEW

NADAL VS THIEM LIVE RESULT: THIEM WINS 7-6, 7-6, 4-6, 7-6 DESPITE RAFA SAVING TWO MATCH POINTS

Live Blog

* Rob Maul

* Joshua Jones

* 29 Jan 2020, 13:11 * Updated: 29 Jan 2020, 13:11 RAFAEL NADAL is out of the Australian Open after an incredible performance from Dominic Thiem. The Austrian took a two-set lead via tie-breaks but when the Spaniard snatched the third set, it looked like there could be an incredible comeback on the cards. Nadal then came from a break down to force a tie-break with Thiem serving for the match, and saved two match points in the breaker. But the man he beat in the French Open final was not to be denied again and clinched the fourth set tie-break 8-6 to triumph over his opponent for the first time at a grand slam. * Joshua Jones4 hours ago29th January 2020 THIEM 7-6 7-6 4-6 7-6 NADAL More from the semi-finalist: “It came to 5-4, a special situation, I am serving for the match against Rafa for my first semi-final at the Australian Open, and it mentally tough situation. I couldn’t handle it, but turned it around in the tie-breaker. “I am happy I won the tie break otherwise we would be in a fifth

now.

“I feel good so far. I am full of adrenaline and happy moments, so we will see when that is off, how I feel tomorrow.” * Joshua Jones4 hours ago29th January 2020 THIEM 7-6 7-6 4-6 7-6 NADAL Dominic Thiem said: “The whole match was on a good level, and we were both in good form. “We had this epic match in New York two years ago. I had a feeling I would be lucky. The net cord was on my side. “He is one of the greatest all time, one of the biggest legends this sport has had, and you need luck to beat him.” * Joshua Jones4 hours ago29th January 2020 GAME, SET AND MATCH THIEM! HE BEATS RAFAEL NADAL 7-6 7-6 4-6 7-6! Thiem gets the mini-break with the first point as Nadal misses a

forehand.

Ooooh. Thiem then dumps a tame drop shot into the net for 1-1 and gift

the break back.

And then a WILD backhand from Thiem booms long and suddenly Nadal has

the mini-break.

The point at 2-1 is replayed after confusion with the line call and as the clock hits four hours, Thiem forces Nadal long for 2-2. And the fifth point out of five goes against serve when Nadal nets a routine forehand. 3-2 Thiem. Finally, Thiem manages to hold a point, just about doing enough to get the better of the rampaging Rafa. 4-2 Thiem at the changeover…. Then Thiem somehow wins the point to go 5-2 up, despite taking a tumble and recovering before Nadal goes wide. Another wide serve and crushing forehand from Rafa gets him back to

5-3.

A T serve is then called wide, Nadal serves and it was millimetres wide. Nadal survives his serving points when Thiem nets a forehand. 5-4 to the Austrian… Thiem nails a big serve which Rafa can only plant a return in the net from to set up two match points at 6-4…. Thiem misses! After a great serve, the forehand was set up for him to batter away but he nets! 6-5… Wide serve, huge forehand, and Thiem goes up for the lob…. it lands near the baseline, there is no call and RAFA STOPS!! He challenges it… and it was long!!! He gives the line judge a real stare at the

changeover. 6-6!

But Thiem gets another match point with a cross-court backhand winner past Rafa with a slight let cord (again!). 7-6 Thiem on serve… AND NADAL NETS A FOREHAND AND IT IS ALL OVER! * Joshua Jones4 hours ago29th January 2020 4TH SET — Rafa Nadal* 6-6 Dominic Thiem (sets 6-7, 6-7, 6-4) Oh my word. An outrageous backhand volley gets Nadal to 0-15. But the Austrian gets himself out of trouble with a big serve and ANOTHER lucky let cord – this one a forehand plops over. Rafa understandably aggrieved. 40-15. Nadal, stop that! He rifles a beauty of a forehand up the line. Wow. Thiem survives and into a tie-break we go. * Joshua Jones4 hours ago29th January 2020 4TH SET — Rafa Nadal 6-5 Dominic Thiem* (sets 6-7, 6-7, 6-4) Nadal is pumped, unsurprisingly. He rips a sumptuous backhand up the line for 30-0 but an uncharacteristic miss lets Thiem back in. Rafa puts that aside, though, to step in for 40-15 but Thiem finds the corners before nailing a drive volley. A good serve is returned long and Nadal leads 6-5. * Joshua Jones4 hours ago29th January 2020

NADAL BREAKS BACK!

4TH SET — Rafa Nadal* 5-5 Dominic Thiem (sets 6-7, 6-7, 6-4) A big one-two is finished with a crushing forehand. 15-0. But Thiem sends the new ball flying for 15-15. Double fault – and not even close with the second! 15-30. And he then gifts up two break points! 15-40. A big serve saves the first… 30-40. THIEM MISSES A WILD FOREHAND AND RAFA BREAKS BACK! * Joshua Jones4 hours ago29th January 2020 4TH SET — Rafa Nadal 4-5 Dominic Thiem* (sets 6-7, 6-7, 6-4) Nadal may be serving to stay in the match but still has time for some fancy footwork, flicking the ball away with his heel between serves. He gets himself to 40-15 but cannot find the gap with a banana

forehand.

Thiem nets a forehand on the run and he will serve for the match… * Joshua Jones4 hours ago29th January 2020 4TH SET — Rafa Nadal* 3-5 Dominic Thiem (sets 6-7, 6-7, 6-4) Ace. Perfect start for Thiem. But after a long baseline exchange, a brain-freeze from Thiem means he plays a short drop shot which Nadal picks off. A tame backhand slice from Rafa gets Thiem in front and then a double-challenge point from Thiem sees him close out the game. He challenged (incorrectly) his long serve and then catches the line with a forehand winner.

One game away…

* Joshua Jones4 hours ago29th January 2020 * Joshua Jones4 hours ago29th January 2020 4TH SET — Rafa Nadal 3-4 Dominic Thiem* (sets 6-7, 6-7, 6-4) Thiem gets lucky with yet another let cord, this time on the first point of the game – his backhand down the line nicks inside after 18

shots.

Nadal nets for 0-30 but claws the game back to 30-30 when Thiem

catches the net.

Some more good serving gets Nadal to 3-4. * Joshua Jones4 hours ago29th January 2020 4TH SET — Rafa Nadal* 2-4 Dominic Thiem (sets 6-7, 6-7, 6-4) Thiem restores his two-game advantage. It's another solid hold from the Austrian and he is two games away

from the semis…

* Joshua Jones5 hours ago29th January 2020 4TH SET — Rafa Nadal 2-3 Dominic Thiem* (sets 6-7, 6-7, 6-4) Thiem benefits from a fortunate let cord that brings his shot into the

body of Nadal.

A punishing one-two – vintage Rafa – puts the Spaniard 30-15 in front and the same again makes it 40-15. Then a third double fault of the match from Nadal makes it 40-30 but Nadal works a brilliant rally to finish off the game and stay within

touching distance.

* Joshua Jones5 hours ago29th January 2020 4TH SET — Rafa Nadal* 1-3 Dominic Thiem (sets 6-7, 6-7, 6-4) Thiem starts the game well enough but Nadal finds his angles to get into the net and back to 30-15. The umpire then takes a superb one-handed catch when Rafa mishits a return of serve and Thiem closes out the game to consolidate the

break.

* Joshua Jones5 hours ago29th January 2020

THIEM BREAKS!

4TH SET — Rafa Nadal Dominic Thiem* (sets 6-7, 6-7, 6-4) Nadal hits the line with a T serve – confirmed by Thiem's challenge – but Thiem fights back to 30-30. And he brings up break point by forcing Nadal wide and the Spaniard gifts the break by shanking a mid-court forehand off the frame and

well out.

Thiem now two sets to one up with a break… * Joshua Jones5 hours ago29th January 2020 * Joshua Jones5 hours ago29th January 2020 4TH SET — Rafa Nadal* 1-1 Dominic Thiem (sets 6-7, 6-7, 6-4) Have some of that, Rafa. Thiem picks the ball out of the air for a

fine drive volley.

But it all goes wrong… Down 15-30, he pops up a really poor drop shot and Nadal punishes him. Thiem saves the first break point with a neat serve and volley before

a big smash.

But another unforced error sets up a third break point – only for Thiem to nail a forehand winner. Then a bit of controversy… Thiem hits a serve close to the line, it is called good and Rafa goes to have a look before throwing up his finger to challenge. He's too late, though, the score has already been called out and the challenge is refused. Thiem seals the game with a backhand. A big hold. * Joshua Jones5 hours ago29th January 2020 4TH SET — Rafa Nadal 1-0 Dominic Thiem* (sets 6-7, 6-7, 6-4) Rafa kickstarts this fourth set with a trademark forehand. Thiem cannot quite pull off a banana forehand on the run but has no problems swatting a backhand winner away. Nadal holds, though, and nudges himself in front. * Joshua Jones5 hours ago29th January 2020 GAME AND THIRD SET NADAL!! Rafa Nadal* 6-4 Dominic Thiem (sets 6-7, 6-7) Thiem misses a backhand pass up the line by a whisker and Nadal goes on the ascendancy to force 0-30. A timely ace down the T – his ninth of the match – gets Thiem back into the game but a loose backhand into the net presents two set points for the world No1… The first is saved by a big T serve. 30-40. AND RAFA GETS IT! Thiem nets another backhand and Rafa is right back

in this one!!!

* Joshua Jones5 hours ago29th January 2020 3RD SET — Rafa Nadal 5-4 Dominic Thiem* (sets 6-7, 6-7) Thiem delays the start of Nadal's service game to delicately usher a bug away from the back of the court as the ballboy comes to help shepherd it away – Novak would be proud. Nadal nets and is then moaning to the umpire about the court, digging his trainer on to the baseline to make a massive squeak! Back to the tennis and Thiem goes narrowly wide with his return at 30-15 and then Rafa rips a winner away. * Joshua Jones5 hours ago29th January 2020 3RD SET — Rafa Nadal* 4-4 Dominic Thiem (sets 6-7, 6-7) Bish bash bosh. Explosive stuff from the Austrian.

Winner, winner.

He tucks away a volley for 40-0 before Nadal puts a backhand in the

trams.

* Joshua Jones5 hours ago29th January 2020 3RD SET — Rafa Nadal 4-3 Dominic Thiem* (sets 6-7, 6-7) Nadal is keen to cut the length of these rallies down – when Thiem gets into them he is generally getting the better of his opponent. So Nadal gets through another service game with relative ease. And time to blast some more cold air on to him at the changeover. * Joshua Jones5 hours ago29th January 2020 3RD SET — Rafa Nadal* 3-3 Dominic Thiem (sets 6-7, 6-7) Rafa sends a fizzing grounstroke wide before a third double of the match from Thiem, who then shanks a drive volley long. But some good serving, resolute defence and Nadal going _just _wide

evens the set up.

* Joshua Jones5 hours ago29th January 2020 3RD SET — Rafa Nadal 3-2 Dominic Thiem* (sets 6-7, 6-7) Just what the doctor ordered from Nadal. Four first serves, four points won. He wins the fifth game of the set by flashing an angled ace out wide. * Sam Street5 hours ago29th January 2020 The tide of history is certainly with Thiem now… * Joshua Jones5 hours ago29th January 2020 3RD SET — Rafa Nadal* 2-2 Dominic Thiem (sets 6-7, 6-7) Another game, another beauty of a backhand winner from the Austrian's racket to take him to 40-30. He forces Rafa long to seal the game and level up the third set again. Load more entries…
