Roger Federer vs Dominic Thiem Madrid 2019 Forgotten THRILLER 😬 | ATP Underrated Matches.

It's a beauty from Federer to get this one started. Yeah, it's so good. Wearing the forehand long. Yeah, it's good. The sneak attack by Roger. Just an exhibition in serving right now from Roger Federer. This is seriously impressive right now. That's explosive hitting, isn't it? From both players. That's the effect Federer has had though, forcing Dominic Thiem maybe to doing something that he doesn't necessarily want to do. Oh yeah, just about. Again, the return of Federer. He's inside the baseline there. To Juan Carlos Ferreira, that's it. That's enormous forehand from Dominic Thiem and a very good hold. Found himself love 30 down. He's just dragged it. That one's long. And the FedExpress flying once again. It's beautiful from Roger Federer. Absolutely beautiful. An artist at work, Roger Federer. It's well controlled from Thiem. Oh, it's a wonderful one-two punch from the Austrian there. Swatted away, dismissed. And again, Dominic Thiem perhaps warming to the task now. Excellent return of... He gave Thiem another bite at the cherry, but made sure with that final overhead. Well, this is much better from Dominic Thiem. Dominic Thiem has had his chances. Tried it a couple of times now, Federer, and it's not quite worked out. Oh, staggeringly good point from both players. Thiem on the front foot, but Federer giving a clinic in how to defend as well. Such a good game from Dominic Thiem. How much better does the Austrian look, right? That's great coverage there from Federer. Such a good point again from Federer. Just working the ball from side to side. Half a chance. 11 millimeters out. And there is that mental resilience. He has right on the baseline from Dominic Thiem. And it brings up two set points. A genius at work. The let off from Thiem, and you can see he smacks his thigh out of frustration. Took it on, he took a risk. Well watched. On we go. Terrific pass from Thiem. Between two of the game's best from Roger Federer. He did enough with the backhand up the line there, Dominic Thiem. Very calmly done from Roger. Oh, that is out... He's finding such a good link now, Dominic Thiem. But this man still has answers for him. Did Federer have to work there? Saves break points. We've seen a lot of drop shots as Miles said this week, but that wasn't a particularly good one from Dominic Thiem. Great combo from the Austrian. Electric return from Dominic Thiem. And just like in set two, he gets a love 40 on a Roger Federer service game. A good sportsmanship from the Austrian. Says that the serve was in. He breaks the third time. One of the biggest forehands we've seen from Federer today. He missed a few of those in the opening set. Fine margins. That's nice. Back behind Dominic Thiem. Always a clever play on the clay. That's beauty from Federer. Really did so well to turn that point around. Just long. Oh, wonderful hands from both men. How about the return from Dominic Thiem? That's another really deep, good return from Thiem. He was pushed incredibly wide from that Federer serve. Thiem is seeing the ball like a football right now. Flushing everything, the Austrian. But it drops in. It contains no sign of nerves whatsoever. Oh, that is how to save one. Tussle, but Thiem triumphs in a classic here in Madrid. The two-time runner-up in 2017 and 2018 has to come from a set down to beat the three-time champion here, Roger Federer. He extends his winning streak to eight matches on the ATP Tour.
