Rafa's win was expected but the score line of 3 straight sets win is misleading because the Champ had to toil much harder than what the score line suggests.. .If only Thiem had not committed certain unforced errors at crucial times the match would have been longer but beating Rafa at this stage looks overambitious. Thiem need not feel bad because he did put up a very good fight indeed. He is young and can always hope for making it to many more finals and wins.
