Dominic Thiem relied on his explosive game to advance to the quarterfinals at the 2020 Australian Open, defeating Gael Monfils in an entertaining match.
The Austrian had dug deep to overcome Taylor Fritz in his previous round matchup, but faced no such difficulty today.
With Monfils offering no real threat, the 5th seed was able to outhit his French opponent and win the match 6-2 6-4 6-4 in an hour and 50 minutes.
Thiem was in fine form, hitting winners at will. The former French Open finalist did not even face a break point, but capitalized on four break point opportunities.
After such a comfortable win, the Austrian next faces a daunting challenge in the winner between top seed Rafael Nadal and Australia's own Nick Kyrgios in what is sure to be a blockbuster encounter.

- 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".
