Dominic Thiem had one of the best (if not the best) seasons of his great career. The Austrian won 5 titles om 2019, and among them, his first ATP1000 in Indian Wells and he finally conquered the home tournament in Vienna. In addition, with his title in the desert and Austria, he proved to himself and the others that he can win important titles also on fast or indoor courts.

However, even if Dominic is full of confidence, he had to admit that he wasn’t very happy about ending in the same group of Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic. The world no.5 commented:
“If you can pick two players who stand out from the others, they are Djokovic and Federer. Federer plays unbelievable tennis on that court, and Djokovic won in Paris. So it’s very difficult but my goal is still the same, to reach semifinals, and I will do my best to achieve it.”
Thiem vs. Federer
Dominic at least can rely on a positive record against Federer as he leads the Swiss legend 4-2 in the head to head matches. However, Roger leads 1-0 on indoor hard-courts as he defeated the Austrian last year in at the same event in straight sets (6-2 6-3). They are going to play in the evening match on Sunday. The prediction is Federer in 2.
