A clear matter with small initial difficulties! Dominic Thiem is in the US Open quarterfinals with a smooth victory in three sets.
The Austrian number one fought the young Canadian at first, but then found his groove: With the break at 3-2, the pendulum clearly tilted towards Thiem in the first set. But Lower Austria served to make the 5: 5 very frivolous, so a tie-break had to decide. There Thiem kept his nerves and won 7: 4, a difficult job.
At the start of the second set, Thiem shifted at least one gear higher and took the all-important break to 2-0. At 3-0, Lichtenwörther defended himself against two breakballs; the momentum was now clearly on the world’s number three side. The second set easily belonged to Thiem with 6: 1.
Auger-Aliassime’s morale was broken with the break to 1-0 at the start of the third set, Thiem’s winners became more and more: the Austrian tennis star was clearly the boss on the field. The double break to 4: 1 sealed the fate of the 20-year-old Canadian. Thiem also shaved it 6: 1 in the third set and advanced to the quarterfinals.
There Thiem meets Australian Alex de Minaur, who defeated Vasek Pospisil 7: 6, 6: 3, 6: 2.
