Dominic Thiem laughing at brother through the wall of fans in the empty stadium Arthur Ashe Moritz in Austria: “Everyone still lives at home, did the whole family survive well?”

Alexander Zverev (who also had cramps at the goal): “We are both physically strong players, but you can see that nerves still play a role. You just want to win, I was close to that, I was two points away. But congratulations to Dominic He deserved this Grand Slam title extremely well, probably more than me. So it’s only fair that he won. “

Herwig Straka (Thiem Manager): “The dramaturgy was just amazing. It was an epic ending, you really have to say it, it’s in the history books.”

Boris becker (Eurosport): “Dominic Thiem has freed himself from a seemingly impossible situation. I call him Houdini, Houdini of tennis. 2-0 sets on the back, break on the back, Zverev served 5: 3 in the fifth set of the match. And somehow the Austrians do not lose this match. Do not lose courage. That’s how it is in sport, not lose the match. “

Karin Thiem (Mother directly to son via ServusTV): “Hi Domi! Congratulations, I’m exhausted. I’m speechless. That was crazy now, I hope the rest of the family survived too. It’s so good that you have fulfilled your dream for life. “
