Dominic Thiem keeps intact his chances to qualify for the final 4 in London after defeating Gael Monfils 6-3 1-6 6-4 in 89 minutes. The key part of the match was the last past of the last game of the match when Gael was broken after losing two consecutive points (from 30-all) and committing three double faults.
He helped me at the end. THIEM
Dominic was euphoric for his first win in the finals to comment
“I had a good start today. I was trying to stay tough in the third set, but at the end, of course, he helped me a little bit with the three double faults. But I’m very happy with the win. This tournament, the big crowd, gives me and probably all the players a lot of energy.”
Next vs. Raonic
Dominic can qualify for the semi-finals if he defeats Milos Raonic in the last match of the Round Robin. The head to head is 1-0 for the Canadian that dismissed Thiem in the Cincinnati quarters this year (6-3 6-4).
