Nadal vs Thiem prediction

Rafael Nadal takes on Dominic Thiem in the semifinal of French Open. These two players have met 3 times in last 40 days. Nadal won 2 times, while their last meeting in Rome won Thiem. Thiem is looking good on this tournament. He won all of his matches in 3 sets, he even beat Djokovic without dropping a set showing a great performance. He also showed big mental straight in that game, before beating Djokovic he had 5 matches lost against him, while in their last meeting before that in Rome he took only 1 game. It is interesting that after that loss against Djokovic he said that he has problems to play against two tough opponents in a row, before that loss he beat Nadal, also after he beat Murray in Barcelona, he took only 5 games against Nadal after that so we will see is he capable to play on so high level again today. However I still more like Nadal. Nadal also reached this semifinal without losing a set. He had something tougher draw than Thiem IMO, but still he was even more convincing. His toughest win was against Haase where he has dropped 8 games. He has spent less time on the court than Thiem and in the quarterfinal Carreno Busta retired him match after 10 games played, so he will be fresh for this game. he looks really confident in this moment so I think he will manage to beat Thiem and I think he can cover -5.5 games handicap.
