Thiem’s Interview
After the match, Dominic commented:
“It is already one of my most beautiful moments ever in my tennis career.
It was one of the most emotional moments because I have a special connection with Kitzbühel. I was here for the first time when I was six on this huge centre court. I was watching the tournament many times.
I got my first wild card here and now to finish the tournament as the champion is incredible. I reached one big childhood goal today.”
