Grigor was extremely happy with his win to comment

“It was a good match; I expected to play a good match. Thiem is one of the hottest contenders at any tournament, so I’m happy to get a Top 10 win. I was coming in a lot in the first set but then got off my patterns a little bit. I need to serve better on the first serve.”
