  • Thiem Tour Portrait

    These are a few notes on this month's TPN Tour Portrait on Dominic Thiem.
    https://www.tennisplayer.net/members...minic_thiem_2/

    Most of these photos came from last year's Indian Wells final where Thiem topped Fed in a tight, high-quality back-and-forth match. There were a couple of shots that were among the best I've ever seen in person. Here's the story on this back hand. Since Domi had moved further and further back to return serve, Fed tried to serve-and-volley behind a heavy kick, second serve. Thiem hit this sharply-angled backhand, topspin pass from behind the logo (it felt at the time as if he was in the ESPN camera cutout). Passed Fed with a short dipper so hard Fed didn't even move for it.

    With Thiem pounding the ball from behind the logo, Fed tried a few drop shots. Thiem's response showed just how fast he is. Here, Domi comes from deep in his backhand corner to dig a Fed drop shot that is going laterally into Thiem's forehand doubles alley. The white skid mark from his trailing shoe was maybe 8 feet long. Awesome.

      Thiem won, collapsed on his back. At the net, Fed hugged him and smiled as if he'd lost a round of golf to his son <g>
      Please check out the Tour Portrait, hope you enjoy the photos as well as John's item on Domi's second serve.
      Best & stay safe / jim
