I think he s just becoming extremely match-tough - Christopher Eubanks analyzes Dominic Thiem s stunning win against Tommy Paul

Christopher Eubanks (inset) and Dominic Thiem American tennis player has opined that former US Open champion is improving day by day. Thiem defeated the in-form American 2-6, 7-6(2), 7-6(6) in a three-hour epic in front of his home crowd in Vienna. During an appearance on the Tennis Channel, Eubanks pointed out how important match practice was to a player like Thiem, who began his comeback earlier this season by competing at Challenger events. "I think he's just becoming extremely match-tough," Eubanks said. "He started off in the challengers having to work his way back and now we're seeing how important matches are to a player like Dominic Thiem. I think Jon highlighted one of the biggest points, the reaction." This is a man who won a Grand Slam not that long ago and now to win a first-round in his home country in an ATP 500, to see so much energy and so much joy with it was telling for me to see him fall to the ground in a first-round win," Eubanks added. Jon Wertheim, who was also on the program, opined that Thiem's issues from earlier in the season were mental rather than physical. "He took some losses and went to the press room, including at the French where he'd reached the final, and we would be waiting to hear about an injury. But he'd be like, 'No, no, I feel fine I just have no confidence'. So this is not about the body as it is about the mind," said Wertheim.
