Dominic Thiem impressed after defeating the great Rafael Nadal in the Australian Open quarterfinal in a fantastic match. The Austrian appeared to be completely dialled in and “comfortable” in dealing with Rafa’s tennis to give a sensation that he definitely “belonged” to that level.
H2H Thiem vs. Nadal, Djokovic and Federer
Dominic seems to be more and more to be the “first” guy to really break the domination of the Big 3. In fact, even if he has an overall (not so) negative record against Nadal (5-9) and Djokovic (4-6), he has a winning record against Federer (5-2).
What impresses the most is Thiem’s positive H2H stats against the Big3 in the last 12 months. In fact, Dominic has a 3-0 record against Federer and 2-1 record vs. both Rafa and Nole.
Next vs. Zverev in the semifinal
Dominic will compete against Zverev in the semifinal. The head to head is 6-2 for Thiem.
The last time that they squared off, Thiem won 7-5 6-3 in the semifinal in London (Nitto ATP Finals) in November 2019.
