'Both gave everything': Schwartzman tops Thiem; Nadal next
Read full article: 'Both gave everything': Schwartzman tops Thiem; Nadal nextA reporter wanted to know whether Schwartzman would be watching Nadal vs. Sinner. โFor sure, Iโm going to be awake,โ said Schwartzman, who defeated Nadal at a clay-court tuneup in Rome last month. The ninth break put Schwartzman up 4-2 in the fifth when Thiem netted a backhand, and the last ended it, when Thiem put two drop shots into the net. From early on against Schwartzman, Thiem would bail out of points by trying mediocre drop shots, a bit of foreshadowing of the dayโs denouement. He led the fourth 5-3, and held three set points while serving for it at 5-4.
