That's a big moment for @ThiemDomi 👏 Last year's finalist leads last year's champion 7-6(5) at the #NittoATPFinals! 🎥: @TennisTV
Dominic Thiem won through his opener at the ATP Finals with victory over Stefanos Tsitsipas but despite that, he doesn't consider himself as one of the favourites for the title due to the strength of the field.
“Honestly not in this tournament. I think especially this year all eight players are in great form and are pretty much on a hot streak as well,” Thiem said. “Rafa and Novak because of all they have achieved and what they are, I think they’re a little bit above the other six.
“But in general every single one of the eight players can win every match here. So I see myself just as everybody else and every match is pretty much 50-50 and the one who has a better day and the one who is a little bit more lucky [on] this certain day is going to win the matches and the one who has the best week is going to end up winning the tournament. I couldn’t do any predictions at all.”
“I thought the level was higher last year. We were both in great shape last year in the final, wanted that title 100 per cent. The atmosphere was insane last year in the final and today was a little bit different,” Thiem added.
“It was a lot over the serve from both of us, only two breaks in the whole match. I think the conditions are pretty fast here, so I’m super happy with my win.”
