I watched a bit of this Tie Break Tens stuff today. It doesn't do much for me but Thiem's display against Murray in the final was impressive. Thiem has kind of gone off the radar since his spectacular start to the season, but I like him the best of all the newcomers. He's a great shotmaker. He can hit good shots from extremely difficult positions. He hit a couple of forehands from really difficult positions where Murray had pulled him out wide. Those two forehands were definitive in ensuring he won that tiebreak.
That said, Murray is playing really well. If Djokovic decides to take a sabbatical, which has been rumoured, the Murray will be out on his own. Thiem may have won a tiebreak today but over the long haul Murray will grind pretty much anyone down right now. He's finally become the player many thought he might.
