The Austrian maintained his unbeaten record against Gael Monfils to reach his first ever Australian Open quarterfinal.
Dominic Thiem said his match against Monfils is his best so far in the current Australian Open campaign. Thiem put in a dominant performance as he cruises past Monfils in three sets to reach the quarterfinals of the Australian Open for the first time.
The current world no 5 said the match wasn't as easy as the score [6-2, 6-4, 6-4] suggested. However, he's delighted at having progressed to the next stage of the tournament.
“I think that I played my best match so far of this Australian Open. A very, very good feeling,” Thiem said.
"The score looks way easier than the match was. I think I was lucky to make an early break in each set and then was managing to hold my serve well. I’m so happy because I’m for the first time in the quarter-finals here.”
Thiem will play current world no 1 Rafael Nadal in the quarterfinal.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
