First set: De Minaur 1-6 Thiem
Easy pickings for Thiem, who holds his serve to 15 and claims the first set with an ace. Four breaks of serve in the first set – three to Thiem, one for De Minaur – means the Australian failed to hold even once. De Minaur isn’t playing terribly but he is being comfortably dealt with by Thiem, who is working the Australian around the court and showing his muscle with a raft of winners (11-2 in the first set). The Austrian is even allowing himself the luxury of more unforced errors than De Minaur, 13-11. A long way back here for the Australian.
