Birthday Boy Dominic Thiem Loses in Five

Am not very happy that Dominic Thiem just lost in five sets to Juan Martin del Potro in the Round of 16 at the U.S. Open. (The Argentine has such severe fiaca I can't even tell if he wants to win. And you can bet your favorite empanada he will turn around and lose to Roger Federer in an hour -- he even admitted in the post-match interview that winning tonight was "good enough" for him.) It looks like the dreamy Austrian had a nice 24th birthday party yesterday at Nobu, however, where Denis Shapovalov and Roger Federer stopped by to wish him well. 

But perhaps he would have won if his "boyfriend" had been here to cheer him on instead of watching from a hotel room where he's playing a Challenger event in South America. Long-distance love affairs are never easy ...
