Dominic Thiem Lifts First China Open Trophy
ATP Tour (October 6, 2019) Dominic Thiem weathered some of Stefanos Tsitsipas’ best tennis on Sunday to win his fourth title of the season 3-6, 6-4, 6-1 and further pad his hard-court resume at the China Open in Beijing.
Thiem, who qualified for the Nitto ATP Finals by reaching the ATP 500 final, broke in the 10th game of the second set to wrestle momentum away for good against the reigning Next Gen ATP Finals champion, who was going for his first ATP 500 crown.
“It feels great because today was for me one of the best matches I’ve played in my life. Game style wise and also how I came back, it’s definitely one of my biggest titles because the tournament is so strong, the draw was so strong. Makes me very happy that I stand as the champion at the end of the week,” Thiem said.
