Thiem ended Nadal's 21-match winning streak on clay with a 7-5, 6-3 win at the Madrid Open. Ehh, Nadal should still win RG. Rafa usually drops one of Madrid/Rome before the French Open to take the pressure off of himself.- Not N'Golo Kante (@IOnlySayFacts) So here's the tennis #1 spot!
Nadal : oh, go on Roger you have
Federer : nah, you have it
Nadal : what about we each have a go at it few times a year
Federer : sure, how long you think we should be swapping it for?
Nadal: don't know, next 30years?- Glutton (@LucerneBest) So, to become world number 1, one needs to not play, Nadal at IW and Miami, Fed at Madrid - Ankit Mohapatra (@ankitmoh123) Nadal lost to Thiem, Dhoni dropped a catch that cost his team the match. It was really an awful day. Need to forget.- Sunny (@OnestlyBrutal) The Nadal forehand was off today, Thiem played fab.
But not such a bad thing for Rafa to lose a set/match ahead of French, to lessen the streak questions.
And it's not like he hasnt lost during the French Open buildup in other years (Madrid, and its conditons, included).- Ravi Ubha (@raviubha) Thiem at his best. Rafa far from it. Not an ideal combination lol.- Del (@Stroppa_Del) Dominic Thiem ( ) - doublefault28 (@doublefault28) Thiem. ‘My attitude made the difference. In Monte Carlo I got killed, but today I stepped on the court to win’- José Morgado (@josemorgado) Madrid done and dusted. Toni Nadal has said a few times that Madrid isn't really a good prep tournament for RG. Thin air, different conditions.- Mark Nixon (@markalannixon) World No. 7 becomes 1st player since himself to win a set from Rafael Nadal on clay, taking 1st set of QF 7-5. Nadal's consecutive sets streak ends at 30 overall and 50 on clay. His last set and match lost on clay was to Thiem in 2017 QF.- ATP Media Info (@ATPMediaInfo) Nadal. "Special conditions. The balls flies more here, I almost never controled the points all match. My feeling wasn't good".- José Morgado (@josemorgado) Lot of credit to Dominic Thiem. Beating Nadal. On clay. In Spain. With that inside-out forehand.... Just got more interesting- Jon Wertheim (@jon_wertheim) With 's upset of Rafael Nadal at , will return to No. 1 in Rankings on 14 May for 5th stint and 309th week. Nadal would reclaim World No. 1 on 21 May if he wins his 8th title.- ATP Media Info (@ATPMediaInfo) Nadal on Thiem: ‘Three weeks ago I beat him 6-0 6-2. This week he’s been a very tough opponent. If he beats me three times in a row maybe we can say he’s a tougher opponent for me.’- George Bellshaw (@BellshawGeorge) Nadal. "This is not a drama. I won 50 consecutive sets on this surface. Now I lost. I'm not gonna do a lot of things different because of this"- José Morgado (@josemorgado) Q: "Rafa, how are you going to Rome after this match?"
Nadal: "On a plane"
So damn deadpan. - René Denfeld (@Renestance) Dominic Thiem end Rafael Nadal’s winning streak on clay, beats the Spanish 7-5, 6-3 to reach the semifinals in Madrid. Wow! - José Morgado (@josemorgado) Having won 50 straight, Rafael Nadal loses a set on clay for the first time in 51 weeks, and doubles down by losing the match 7-5, 6-3 to Dominic Thiem in the Madrid QFs.
