Dominic Thiem lost to Stefanos Tsitsipas in the final at the 2019 ATP Finals in London and is already looking forward to next season.

It was a difficult 3-set match in the final including 3 tie-breaks. Thiem fought for almost 3 hours, but Tsitsipas ended victorious. After the match, Thiem said:

“He played great today. He played great throughout the whole tournament. He's the champion and he deserves it 100 per cent,” Thiem said. “I also think that he's great for tennis because he has a very attractive game style, one-handed backhand, comes in a lot. Very beautiful technique, as well. It's great that he's up on the top and he's going to fight for the big titles in the future."

Thiem also spoke about next season and his H2H matches against Tsitsipas. He also thinks one of the young players can win the Grand Slam title next year.

“I'm also very sure of the fact that I can challenge him in every single match we're going to play. I really hope that we're going to have a lot of big matches coming [between] the two of us.”

“I think that for sure we can do it next year,” Thiem said. “We are all playing great tennis. Sascha, Stefanos, me, some other guys. I'm pretty sure that we're going to see a new and young Grand Slam champion next year.”
