Thiem 'I was lucky'. Rafa 'He was amazing' after ATP Finals showdown

The world number two, Rafael Nadal, said on Tuesday that Dominic Thiem "played an amazing match," but that his feeling after the 7-6 (7), 7-6 (4) defeat to the Austrian world number three is "not negative" because the "level of tennis, even if I lost today for me, is much higher." Nadal also commented on the quarantine all players would have to take if they are to play at the Australian Open in Melbourne, and insisted that the quarantine period resembles what players do regardless of the pandemic. The Spanish world number two, who beat Rublev in straight sets in their opener, missed a chance to qualify with a match to spare and next will play Tsitsipas on Thursday with a semifinal place at stake. Nadal has never won the ATP Finals, which remains the biggest gap on his resume.
