A-listers having trouble but for Sharapova
Thiem over Nadal - Meaning
What does this mean for the future. I think it only means that Thiem is moving up into the upper tier and may become a member of the top four. Right now it appears that Zverev and Dimitrov have ascended while the clocks runs against Nadal and Federer as much as we love to see them remain at the top. Thiem might then become another member of the European and Russian dominance of the ATP. What happens when Thiem and Nadal next meet will be the indicator if this was just another random loss that Nadal suffers now and then or whether Thiem is solidifying his move to the upper ranks. After all, he's in the top ten already so a few more position isn't out of the question.
