With the win, Thiem became the first male player born in the 1990s to claim a Grand Slam singles title and the first Austrian to win a US Open singles title.
 
Thiem triumphed over friend Diego Schwartzman to claim the 2019 Vienna Open trophy for the first time, for his 16th career title.

The talented player is hoping to emulate Austrian legend Jürgen Melzer, who remains the last player to defend the Vienna Open title having done so in 2010.
 
Schwartzman, who eliminated Thiem from the recent 2020 French Open, has praised Thiem ahead of this year's Vienna Open following their clash in France.
 
"Dominic is one of the best players in the world, won the last Slam, two finals here and we are good friends," Schwartzman said. 
 
"I have a lot of respect for him. This is a very special moment."
