Thiem to dispatch Pella quickly?

[pattymayo]

Thiem has just been incredible lately, dating back to last year has won 18 of 19 on clay.. can Pella keep it close or do we pound the under? Looks like he struggled a bit with DGT yesterday, have to think Thiem takes him out pretty routinely?

Tricky match IMO. While Thiem has been dominate, he has struggled a little against Schwartzman. He also struggled against Elias last week.

Also, the last time Pella played in a semi (challenger) on clay, he beat down Cuevas, which is no easy feat.

I don't like the fact that Thiem just gave up the 1st set after he got down.

The wind and rain is negating his power and Pella is playing clean.

Lets see if he can come back to win the match.

so far its pella who dispatching thiem quickly
but that rain delay early in 2nd set might be just what Thiem needs, he can regroup and start over. pella on the other side will cool off

If it stays windy, I think Pella has a good shot in 2. Thiem's power and shots become lower % in the windy conditions.
