The second favorite for this first great of the new reality, Dominic Thiem, spoke about the case and how he feels in this bubble protecting professional players in this return to competition.
“There are a lot of people involved in this tournament. The chance of someone testing positive is quite high. I wish Benoit the best and I hope no one else is positive, that’s the most important thing,” says the Austrian.
“I think there is no safer place in the world than this. You can only lock yourself somewhere in a cave or in the middle of the sea. Otherwise I feel very safe here.
We are in a bubble. However, it is clear that things can happen, as with Benoit. I hope no one else is infected, but I can tell you that everything is very strict here, ”emphasized the Viennese.

Thiem will seek to revert to his best version after being eliminated in his first official game and was humiliated by Krajinovic at the Cincinnati tournament.
“Games like this can happen. I saw how well Filip played after our game, he beat Fucsovics very well and wanted to clear two sets against Raonic. He is playing at a great level and I haven’t had my best day.”
Hence the result. I know from my strengths that things can change very quickly. I hope to do better at the US Open, although it is a bit strange to stay in the same places and surroundings after a loss like that, ”said the world number three.
