Austrian tennis star Dominic Thiem has continued his impressive run of form in the Astana Open.
The 30-year-old defeated America’s Marcos Giron in the round of 16 tie with a score of 6-3, 4-6, 7-6.
While doing so, Thiem ended up qualifying for the quarterfinal of an ATP event for the 76th time where he will face Sebastian Ofner.
The result will be an important one for the world number three who has struggled with injuries over a long period of time.
While returning to full fitness this year, Thiem has had a hard time getting success at the highest level where despite playing in all the Grand Slams, he failed to qualify for the third round or beyond in any of the mega events.
His best outing came in the recently concluded US Open where the Wiener Neustadt-born managed to qualify for the second round and lost to American’s Ben Shelton with a score of 6-4, 3-6, 6-2, 6-0.
Thiem will be hoping that his recent run of form where he has won seven out of the last eight matches will help her return to his very best like he was in 2020.
It was the year where he won his first and till now only Grand Slam after beating Germany’s Alexander Zverev in the final of the US Open with a score of 2–6, 4–6, 6–4, 6–3, 7–6.
