Fritz eases past Thiem to reach semi-finals of BMW Open Munich

It was 'two much' for Dominic Thiem on Friday at BMW Open in Munich with Taylor Fritz accounting for the Austrian in straight sets in Germany to reach the semi-finals.

Thiem had to play two matches in a day starting off with a superb win over Marc-Andrea Huesler but lost out 3-6, 4-6 to the top American.

He now faces Botic van de Zandschulp who saw off Marcos Giron earlier on today and is another notch of confidence for Fritz after reaching the Monte-Carlo Masters semi-finals.

The other semifinal is contested by the defending champion and first seed, Holger Rune and Australian Christopher O'Connell, the latter dumped out Alexander Zverev yesterday.
