The 27-year-old from Lower Austria defeated Norwegian Casper Ruud after 2:15 hours with 6: 4.6: 3.6: 1 and qualified for his 14th round of the last 16. In this, Thiem will face either Swiss Triple Grand Slam winner Stan Wawrinka or French wild card Hugo Gaston on Sunday.
Thiem showed strong nerves again in a few moments. So he turned a 1: 3 into a 5: 3 in the competitive first set. Thiem has secured 189,000 euros and 180 ATP counters with the round of 16. Thiem has a 1: 3 record against Wawrinka, he has never played against the unknown outsider Gaston.
