The Erste Bank Open continues on Thursday with a strong 6-match schedule of play that will see Thiem take on Garin.
The second part of the day will start at 16:00 CET with Rublev taking on Sinner. A spectacular match between two players that enjoy being the aggressor on the court. The match should deliver spectacular rallies and plenty of winners between two players who will duel for many years to come. After them, the fan favourite Dominic Thiem will step out to take on Christian Garin. The Uruguayan prefers clay but he can hold his own on hard courts even against a top player which he demonstrated in the previous round by winning against Wawrinka.
Thiem had a bumpy ride in the previous round so he will enter this match very focused and prepared. He is the heavy favourite but Garin could prove a tough opponent. The match of the day is the match that will close out the stellar schedule. Stefanos Tsitipas will play against Grigor Dimitrov. It's a fascinating matchup between two players who share some similarities in that they both modelled their game after Roger Federer. It should be a spectacular affair and one that the Viennese crowd and many watching from afar will enjoy.
