thiem was talking in an interview after the troicki match about how disappointed he was that he lost and how he was striving to stay in the top 50 (he just got there)... and remember there ARE 2 different joao souza's, and this one is the challenger level guy

actually just realized the other 'souza' spells his name "sousa" ... so no more confusion ha

i have thiem in a couple parlays and i dont think he loses against this guy. souza had a really easy run in qualifying and still dropped a set to some random young russian... he's not ready for the big boys
