“I had a great feeling from the first moment on,” said Thiem, “There is no Roger, Rafa, Novak, but there is Daniil, Sascha, and Pablo now,” he said. “There are three other amazing players. Every single one of us deserves this first major title. Everybody will give it all. Once we step on the court, those other three are forgotten anyway.”
Schwartzman is also the second seed in the ongoing ATP 250 tournament. He will face Laslo Đere in the quarterfinals.
Previously, Schwartzman defeated Sebastian Ofner 6-2, 2-6, 7-5 in the round of 16. At the US Open, Diego was seeded at number 9 but lost in the very first round.
