Vitas lost 16 times in a row to Jimmy Connors but beat him on the 17th time so that's were the quote from Vitas came from but don't know the relevance to Theim/ Nadal....maybe try try again?

Connors beat Gerulaitis 16 times in a row before he finally won on the 17th meeting. He then went on to beat Connors five times in a row.
Thanks both.
OK, so back to you BBH to explain the relevance of this to Thiem/Nadal.
