Dominic Thiem Rallies Past Roger Federer to Win Indian Wells for First Masters 1000 Title

(March 17, 2019) Dominic Thiem prevented five-time winner Roger Federer from winning his 101st title, by claiming his 12th career title and first Masters 1000 title by beating the 20-time major champion 3-6, 6-3, 7-5 to win the BNP Paribas Open at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden on Sunday afternoon. The 25-year-old Thiem became the first Austrian since Thomas Muster in 1997 to win a Masters title.

“For me, it’s unreal,” said Thiem. “I enjoyed every second of it. I had to get used to Roger’s game. In the first set, he was playing amazing. I was struggling a little bit, but I fought my way back into the match.”

“It was a very good match until the end. The last two games were amazing.”
