Djokovic secured the year end world no 1 with the win yesterday so I think he basically just threw that game.
Cracking match between Thiem and Nadal on now.
This is one of the highest standard matches I have seen in some time.
Thiem saves two set points in the tie break to win 9-7.
Outrageous levels of tennis.
Thiem’s mental toughness level is now at the level of Djokovic and Nadal.
The highlights reel of this will have some of the best points you’ll ever see.
Nadal saves 3 match points from 0-40 down.
5-5 in the 2nd.
Thiem takes the match in a 2nd tie break.
Outstanding match.
Nadal will need to beat Tsitsipas in the final match to advance. Thiem almost certainly there now.
Both Djokovic and Nadal will need to win their last game to qualify for the last 4 of the finals.
Medvedev beat Djokovic 6-3, 6-3 tonight.
Thiem will be world no 1 at the end of 2021.
Nadal goes a break up at the end of the first set, serving for the set now
Nadal took the first set 6-4, it’s 4-4 now in the second with Tsitsipas serving

Thiem v Djokovic/wife beater
Medvedev v Nadal
Djokovic beats the wife beater in straight sets do will face Thiem tomorrow.
The top 4 in the world all advance.
Thiem v Djokovic on BBC1 now.
Should be a cracker.
Liquid tennis from The Dominator.
Thiem is the best in the world for me at the minute.
4-4 in the second, both players failed to convert the solitary break point they created for themselves so far.
