KITZBÜHEL, July 11, 2020

Dominic Thiem is the first finalist of the THIEMs7 presented by Soccercoin tennis exhibition in Kitzbühel, Austria. The tournament’s host and top seed fought past Roberto Bautista Agut of Spain 6-7(5), 6-2, 6-2 in the stage of the last four on Friday.

“Reaching the final was my big goal. Today was a difficult match. Playing two and a half hours in hot conditions against a difficult opponent were tough,” said Thiem.

The second semi-final between Matteo Berrettini from Italy and Andrey Rublev was suspended due to constant rain with the Russian leading 6-4, 2-1. The match will resume on Saturday noon followed by the final and the third-place play-off.
