3/0 Thiem, an ideal match up?
3 victories but each time on fast gravel, we are far from being in the same conditions and far from Thiem Prime.
Far from the Thiem prime for sure but there is better from the Austrian, at times he is really good and clearly finds his punch on the forehand but it fades with a lot of mistakes and gifts behind. He saves 3 set points in the first round, wins the decisive tie-break in the second round, it's good for his confidence but it also means that he is close to jumping each time. Opposite Ofner was not afraid and was even impressive in his first two rounds and more particularly against Bublik. He was imperious on the serve and attacked it constantly, whether forehand or backhand.
