An advert for why Hawkeye should be introduced on Clay!

Concerns for Thiem here, I think he might begin to doubt the tactic of standing up to return serve... and Nadal's game plan manifested itself there, hard and high into Thiem's backhand, forcing him backwards giving him a ball on the forehand he can attack... first time it's begun to get a couple of points of traction. He might have had his chances here..

1.1 seems a decent price to oppose Nadal

backhand errors everywhere from Thiem

I think I could count the number of Nadal matches on clay I've traded manually on one hand over the years - so far not looking like I'm adding to that.

On the flip side, he is great to watch especially in finals!

Thiem's 3-point fight back was the best part of the match so far, 1.02 to 1.05.

My money's right at the front of the 1.02 queue if or when it gets there. :P

Is there any chance of Nadal pulling up?

Some backers caught out by that injury scare (could yet get worse)

I've closed three-quarters of my 1.02 trade, left a quarter in case things get worse for him.

That's a wrap for another year, well done on another fab job done by king of clay Nadal!

From a trading perspective how ironic the best move of the final came from an injury scare a few games from the end!

Roll on Wimbledon now!

I'm surprised it was straight sets. Thought we may have had a bit more of a contest.
