After defeating Kopp, Pichler and Miedler in the first group stage, Thiem advanced among the best 12 players at the Austrian Pro Series. In this stage, he played another 2 matches against Rodionov and Hampel.
The beginning of the first match against Rodionov didn't seem to be ideal for Thiem. He lost the first set 2-6 and needed to produce a comeback. He, of course, did when he triumphed 6-3 in the second and 6-1 in the third to add another victory to his account.
In the 2nd match of the second group stage, Dominic Thiem faced Lenny Hampel. The best Austrian player didn't experience any major difficulties with no. 729 in the world as he triumphed 6-3, 6-0.
