Thiem ormai si è consacrato come uno dei più forti giocatori al mondo, ma se Berrettini riesce a mantenere questo livello, allora può fare grandi cose perché se gioca come contro Djokovic sarà difficile batterlo
Gotta love these "highlights" from Roland Garros. An intense 2nd Set, 11-9 in a tie-break and there's not even a complete point. Without question, the weakest of the Slams in terms of being fan-friendly.
Thiem is freaking scary on clay. But still think after Nadal disposes of del delpo, rafa will be too strong for thiem. Would be an awesome final though!
Thiem just too strong, honor to Marco for this great tournament, hope he come back stronger than ever and these were not just the best weeks of his life, tennis need new talents, especially 1 handed backhand
Thiem is a great player...But I am happier when it comes to cecchinato: he showed that he is not just a lucky underdog, but a truly gifted player with a great touch and strong mentality....he's just reached his turning point of his career, which is going to be great
Madeleine Alba Considering the awfully low wage for players outside of the top 70, it’s hard to blame the players. Matchfixing technically isn’t cheating, either.
You should blame the media for taking that on, again and again, instead of talking about his achievement here!!! And, come on, isn't betting cheating, too? On every channel they have all those bet ads. It's really scaring.
Thiem has the mentality and physical fitness to compete in a five set match of a GS and he also manages how to find a way to win and I like that approach from thiem he definitely can win a major maybe on Sunday or maybe not but he can definitely do it in the future he is one for the future I tell ya with time thiem will also have to learn how to manage his game on other surfaces as well that will be the key for him but at the moment he is looking in red hot n tip top shape wish him best of luck for the future ........from an RF fan ;))))
Anyone witnessing this one-handed backhand match would surely find satisfaction out of performance from both players. Bravo Thiem, better luck next time Marco !
Dominic Thiem probably never thought in a million years there was a player around who's game is so similar to his. Quite funny actually. But I'm happy Thiem handled the pressure well for once. Those first couple sets were tight
Andrew Ryan I hope so too... Don' t you think he made a mistake today by playing too far from the baseline? Only Borg could do that in the old days against the likes of SuperMac, if you want to win you have to be more aggressive and gain yards at a certain level
Holy crap! 4 and a half minutes of highlights! Congrats to Marco on his impressive effort on this tournament and good luck to Dominik against boldie in the final!
What a rare thing these days, especially on clay - so glad to see both players with such great single handed bh's. Cecchinato fought great, but Thiem is a real monster. Hoping for a total clash with Rafa. Prince of clay vs. King of clay
Thiem à un tennis très puissant et son jeu est très solide. Il ira loin c'est clair ! Maintenant au vue du niveau de Nadal contre Del Porto en demi, je crains qu'il ne se fasse balayer en finale dimanche...
Go go Thiem!!! Looks like he had work for this one but he pulled it out in straights! Credit to Marco for a inspired tourney! Nadal will be tough but hopefully Thiem is on the rise to finally pull it off!
I wanted the Italian to win, I would have liked to see him in the final against the great Rafa! I hope he continues with that overwhelming mentality, it is time for an Italian to hit the table on tennis, from now on, he will be one of my favorites, I said, period! 🤷🏻♂️😉💪🏻🎾👍🏻🇮🇹
so, at this moment during the SF, Cecchinato was not as well prepared with fitness, game plan, self-belief, experience, or momentum in the mental game. Thiem had these elements in his favor. Today, with Marco's win over Pella yesterday, he's gaining confidence, and currently ranked 22, is starting to believe in himself. It "pays" to work hard at whatever craft we are experts in, and get better and better, until we have that self-belief part covered. Go for it Marco. You're six years younger than Fabio, and only 7 places below him in the rankings. If you maintain a solid regimen, and don't get hurt, you have a shot at going really far. Magnifico!
Thiem: if you want to beat Nadal: do a lot of drop-shots as he stays 4 meters behind the base line !!! Marco: just wonderful, you've played a really great tournament, carry on !!!
I understand your frustration as a Fed fan, Soderling came out this week and said that "Federer never thanked him for beating Nadal in 2009", lol Soderling has no chill.
LOL it's funny that you think I'm a Nadal fanboy! I'd love Thiem to win. I want him to win. I just don't see it happening. If he surprises me, if he shows me he can handle this clay god in a French Open final, I will be wrapped!
FedX I’m in the same boat as you pal, I do want Nadal to get beaten but there’s no way bar injury woes, the guy is a beast and he always finds a way to get things around when he’s on turmoil specially here in RG. I’d like to be proved wrong in the end but it’s a tough proposition to anyone, sure Thiem is playing super tennis at the moment but he’ll face a different task on Sunday, and those who come up with Thiem’s beating him at Madrid Masters don’t let that fool yourselves, Roland Garros is a whole different thing and it’s a best of 5 setter so that’s even more scary for the opponent . But I’d loved to be proved wrong 😁
If I was Thiem, I would be horrified at what lies ahead... LOL. Nadal is simply a beast at Roland Garros. I hope they both play high level and make a masterpiece final.
I didn’t see the match, but watching these highlights... it seemed a great one. Well done to both players, I follow and kind of like Thiem but kudos to Cecchinato for what he achieved at this RG.
It wasn't super entertaining. Thiem was winning his games so easily and Cecchinato struggled hard to get his games but somehow he often managed to do the job in the end. 3th game was all Thiem and Cecchinato looked quite resigned. The most interesting part was the tiebreak where Thiem had like 5:2 or 6:2 advantage and Cecchinato tied it after failure-streak from Thiem but he managed to win the set in the end.
Dear Roland Garros youtube, Can you PLEASE put a picture of both players instead of just the one who won!!! It's not that fun to watch the highlights when you know who won the match right from the start!!
wooow, great tournament Marco Cecchinato! you are awesome! But please, you have fantastic dropshots, so when you hit one, go forward to finish the point.
In Europe they really celebrate and appreciate and respect one hander backhands. Look at the results. Two semi finalists playing a beautiful match after a beautiful tournament. In Australia coaches treat you like the plague if you want to tey one hander. Id expect its the same in the states. Van only think Chris Eubanks in the states has a one hander Nd Australia only has Chris o Connell.
Compliments Marco for your amazing tournament
Indeed
May that fixer burn in hell, hes awful on everything except clay so good luck following him LOL
How To? Just stfu
How To what are you so butt-hurt about? Relax. Get some friends.
How To? gee come down lol
I’d love to see more of Cecchinato, he played well.
grande thiem, marco hai futuro!
Tutti e due hanno giocato un grande tennis.
Thiem ormai si è consacrato come uno dei più forti giocatori al mondo, ma se Berrettini riesce a mantenere questo livello, allora può fare grandi cose perché se gioca come contro Djokovic sarà difficile batterlo
Tommaso Legramandi *Cecchinato
Max 0 ah, si... È tutto il giorno che sento il nome di Cecchinato, ma mi confondo sempre ahahah
itopinonavevanonipoti る
Thiem’s racquet speed is incredible
it's spelt "rocket"
RekPhilipp it's not. Rocket is the thing you launch to the sky. Racquet is the correct one here. It comes from french.
do you know sarcasm??
i don’t know how he can hit with so much power as he doesn’t seem so powerful
it's a joke
Gotta love these "highlights" from Roland Garros. An intense 2nd Set, 11-9 in a tie-break and there's not even a complete point. Without question, the weakest of the Slams in terms of being fan-friendly.
Feeling sad for Marco but really happy for Dominic that deserves his final !
His forehands are having insane topsin
sanch Sanchayan whose?
sanch Sanchayan we ll see that against Nadal whose top spin is better
Thiem is next level
Bravo Marco!!
way to lose in straight sets!
Thiem is freaking scary on clay.
But still think after Nadal disposes of del delpo, rafa will be too strong for thiem.
Would be an awesome final though!
AAS WAWI 👍
AAS WAWI Nadal is such a nightmare with his speed, defense power and spin... I have never seen anything like him on clay.
Thiem just too strong, honor to Marco for this great tournament, hope he come back stronger than ever and these were not just the best weeks of his life, tennis need new talents, especially 1 handed backhand
Marco una grande prova che dimostra che il tennis italiano ancora è a livelli rispettabile bravo sei l'orgoglio del tennis Italiano con fogna
The power of these two is just unbelievable!
who would have thought, 4 years later, geneva 1st round
Very good Thiem 💪💪
now both of them are challenger players
Who would have ever thought that day😂
amazing Thiem, i hope he wins the final
This Marco guy is amazing. Thiem needed all his grit for this one, and Thiem is the only one who can beat Nadal -- unless Delpo can.
Thiem is a great player...But I am happier when it comes to cecchinato: he showed that he is not just a lucky underdog, but a truly gifted player with a great touch and strong mentality....he's just reached his turning point of his career, which is going to be great
Thiem is awesome
Insane how I’ve never heard of Marco before this tournament ..
Andrew Ryan me too!!!
Andrew Ryan. That’s because he was banned from tennis for a long time due to match fixing. I don’t like cheaters.
Madeleine Alba Considering the awfully low wage for players outside of the top 70, it’s hard to blame the players. Matchfixing technically isn’t cheating, either.
You should blame the media for taking that on, again and again, instead of talking about his achievement here!!! And, come on, isn't betting cheating, too? On every channel they have all those bet ads. It's really scaring.
I've heard of him as a betting cheater. But i am not surprised. Italy, Palermo, Mafia.
Wow Thiem congrats. Great players both of them
Thiem has the mentality and physical fitness to compete in a five set match of a GS and he also manages how to find a way to win and I like that approach from thiem he definitely can win a major maybe on Sunday or maybe not but he can definitely do it in the future he is one for the future I tell ya with time thiem will also have to learn how to manage his game on other surfaces as well that will be the key for him but at the moment he is looking in red hot n tip top shape wish him best of luck for the future ........from an RF fan ;))))
One of the most entertaining matches of this year RG
Bravissimo comunque Ceck 👏👏👏
Brilliant tennis. Thiem showed whp the boss was
Anyone witnessing this one-handed backhand match would surely find satisfaction out of performance from both players. Bravo Thiem, better luck next time Marco !
Halep and Thiem, win the final, please!
spiderman spiderman2 halep will not beat sloan. Too fragile and sloan knows what it takes to win a major. Sloan in straights.
spiderman spiderman2 No please, i want Nadal beat Thiem sunday.
Go Stephens!
I hope that
you'll be wrong about Halep and you'll be wrong about Thiem
Dominic Thiem futur top #1 ATP.
the best roland garros match this year i think.extreme desire and class👏👏
Wow......out standing .to the final ,must win and give you all to it ,don't giving -up ,GOOD LUCK at THE FINAL ...!!!.
Thiem is the next King of Clay. His top spin is out of this world.
thiem is on fire here, i hope he wins nadal
For someone who's never won a GS match, Cecchinato's done remarkably well. Well done!
Come on Thiem... Do it again..!!
I hope theim wins RG18!
Dominic Thiem probably never thought in a million years there was a player around who's game is so similar to his. Quite funny actually. But I'm happy Thiem handled the pressure well for once. Those first couple sets were tight
Hopefully Marco will continue to do great things and he won’t just be a one hit wonder
Andrew Ryan I hope so too... Don' t you think he made a mistake today by playing too far from the baseline? Only Borg could do that in the old days against the likes of SuperMac, if you want to win you have to be more aggressive and gain yards at a certain level
Maybe, but the real key today was the precision of Thiem's serve
He was just a one hit wonder
Holy crap! 4 and a half minutes of highlights!
Congrats to Marco on his impressive effort on this tournament and good luck to Dominik against boldie in the final!
What a rare thing these days, especially on clay - so glad to see both players with such great single handed bh's. Cecchinato fought great, but Thiem is a real monster. Hoping for a total clash with Rafa. Prince of clay vs. King of clay
Congratulation for Marco Cecchinato, but Thiem has confirmed today he is the next star. His backhand is almost like Federer backhand.
Thiem is the prince of clay hope he wins rg19
This comment did not age well
1:52 still trying to figure out how Thiem even got to that second ball
Thiem à un tennis très puissant et son jeu est très solide. Il ira loin c'est clair ! Maintenant au vue du niveau de Nadal contre Del Porto en demi, je crains qu'il ne se fasse balayer en finale dimanche...
I love a good drop shot.
Bravo Marco! Great run - more to come, I’m sure.. 🇮🇹✌🏻
Holly shiiiit that is a massive forehand 4:01
freddy Assasin13 yes you are right, but cecchinato played too far away from the baseline
Congratulations thiem you get your first grand slam final
GRANDE MARCO CECCHINATO, ERA TANTO TEMPO CHE NON SI VEDEVA GIOCARE A TENNIS IN QUESTO MODO
Go go Thiem!!! Looks like he had work for this one but he pulled it out in straights!
Credit to Marco for a inspired tourney!
Nadal will be tough but hopefully Thiem is on the rise to finally pull it off!
Jeeeessss wishes from Austria
Du gewinnst das Finale.
Thiem IT. S.. time ....🖒🖒🖒
thiem has top3 potential.
this tournamennt winner is he.
Ok Yoda, losing the final against Nadal he will.
Um jogo de altíssimo nivel!!
Parecia um piso de quadra rápida. Variações e grandes lances.
I wanted the Italian to win, I would have liked to see him in the final against the great Rafa! I hope he continues with that overwhelming mentality, it is time for an Italian to hit the table on tennis, from now on, he will be one of my favorites, I said, period! 🤷🏻♂️😉💪🏻🎾👍🏻🇮🇹
May that fixer burn in hell, hes awful on everything except clay so good luck following him LOL
Österreicher, gell?
why would anyone want to see ceccinalastaso win? he'd be destroyed by rafa. maybe thiem can at least win a set.
Thomas Gelke because Mr. Duran actually wanted to an easier final for Nadal. He is not cheering, he's cheering Nadal
Alfredo Duran. So I guess you don't like Fabio Fognini
Very confident game play from Thiem, gl against Rafa in the final.
Grande cek !!! Diventerai qualcuno in questo sport!!!
YEA!!! MY BOY THIEM!
so, at this moment during the SF, Cecchinato was not as well prepared with fitness, game plan, self-belief, experience, or momentum in the mental game. Thiem had these elements in his favor. Today, with Marco's win over Pella yesterday, he's gaining confidence, and currently ranked 22, is starting to believe in himself. It "pays" to work hard at whatever craft we are experts in, and get better and better, until we have that self-belief part covered. Go for it Marco. You're six years younger than Fabio, and only 7 places below him in the rankings. If you maintain a solid regimen, and don't get hurt, you have a shot at going really far. Magnifico!
He better not choke on his first GS final
LJ Gutierrez oooo but he will
Thiem is on Beast Mode.
Very good and nice great and one and one finals matches Roland Garros Fly Emirates 2018 years of Paris in France
THIEM💖will fight strongly against Rafa 🌟
Sei stato il nostro Mondiale!🔝
I like played dominic Thiem
full of energy, candidate champion Roland-Garros 2018.
It is not often you see two one handers playing in the semis of the French open. Long live the one handed backhand!
Thiems first gs will most likely be rg
Nelson leung yes...RG18
no way ..king rafa still not retired
Kann Domi den König knacken ???
Nelson leung but not this year's
Although I would love to see thiem win it on sunday I fear that rafa will win it in 3 sets.
Thiem: if you want to beat Nadal: do a lot of drop-shots as he stays 4 meters behind the base line !!! Marco: just wonderful, you've played a really great tournament, carry on !!!
Good job Thiem!
Now that was a match!!! BRAVO TO BOTH!!!!
the coronation of the prince will not be yet
Marco played a good tournament, but we haven't seen anything of him since and probably never will anymore...
Save tennis on sunday, Thiem. Please.
Regards
Fed Fan
del potro beat fedrer last time . . n king of clay never lose in final
Masterdoctorgenius14 no please Nadal save tennis for the final
I understand your frustration as a Fed fan, Soderling came out this week and said that "Federer never thanked him for beating Nadal in 2009", lol Soderling has no chill.
Wow, Thiem in top form. He will win anyone if he play the way he play today
Anyone except Nadal.
FedX you are a nadal Fanboy pls shut up you dont know about this sport!
LOL it's funny that you think I'm a Nadal fanboy! I'd love Thiem to win. I want him to win. I just don't see it happening. If he surprises me, if he shows me he can handle this clay god in a French Open final, I will be wrapped!

Dominic❤️❤️❤️
un giocatore italiano completo grande marco arriverà anche il tuo momento ne sono sicuro
Bellissima sfida! Grande Marco....continua così!!
I had no idea Thiem was this good
I didn’t see the match, but watching these highlights... it seemed a great one. Well done to both players, I follow and kind of like Thiem but kudos to Cecchinato for what he achieved at this RG.
It wasn't super entertaining. Thiem was winning his games so easily and Cecchinato struggled hard to get his games but somehow he often managed to do the job in the end. 3th game was all Thiem and Cecchinato looked quite resigned.

Michał L thanks. Then it seems RG did a good job picking the points to highlight :)
A thrilling 3-set match; great win for Dominic Thiem who battled to overcome the determined Marco Cecchinato who also played well.
The way Nadal is wiping out Del Potro, I doubt whether Thiem can lay a finger on Nadal this year, maybe next year but not now.
Grazie lo stesso Marco
A delight to watch
woah! Thiem doing some great ball hitting! Seemed like he was hitting bullets in these highlights.
Dear Roland Garros youtube,
Can you PLEASE put a picture of both players instead of just the one who won!!! It's not that fun to watch the highlights when you know who won the match right from the start!!
Awesome tournament by both players.
3:59 that moment.
Nice work
Such show of sheer power hitting....super back hands n rocket like forehands.... incredible
Team Thiem!
he's so nasty especially on clay, beast groundstrokes too. Hope he wins Roland Garros
The only player who can beat Nadal, he's got a chance for sure
wooow, great tournament Marco Cecchinato! you are awesome! But please, you have fantastic dropshots, so when you hit one, go forward to finish the point.
i want Thiem to beat Rafa
Yes!!!!!!
Kevin Wang sorry but rafa's gonna get an easy win...Too strong
You're right but he said he wanted Thiem to win, he did not say Thiem is gonna win sunday, he just hopes so. I hope so too.
In Europe they really celebrate and appreciate and respect one hander backhands.
Look at the results. Two semi finalists playing a beautiful match after a beautiful tournament.
In Australia coaches treat you like the plague if you want to tey one hander. Id expect its the same in the states.
Van only think Chris Eubanks in the states has a one hander Nd Australia only has Chris o Connell.
Thiem is fast and hits hard like Nadal. It's going to be a good finals.
Imagine a player with Federer's elegancy, Novak's mental power, Nadal's physical strenght, Murray's defense skill and Wawrinka's beckhand....
Love both Nadal and Thiem.....really love to see Thiem win his first GS. but it is going to be brutal to beat Nadal best out of 5 sets.
WOW Going to be a great final .
