Tsitsipas found himself with a break point at 1-1 with Thiem's double fault in the 3rd set. The two players went hand in hand until 5-5. However, at this point an error by Thiem gave Tsitsipah a break point, but Thiem was able to equalise. Tsitsipas persevered and got to two more break points afterwards, but no returns came and eventually Thiem emerged unscathed, moving ahead 5-6. Tsitsipas held his serve afterwards and it was all clear in the tiebreak, where the Greek came back from 1-3 down, led 5-3 and had two match points at 6-4. Tim took the mini break back by playing... full attack, but Stefanos took his second match point with the Austrian's mistake at the net and closed out the match.
