[Tennis- ATP Gstaad] 22.7/ 11:00 D.Thiem- J.Varillas

After such an awful phase with 11 losses in a row, Thiem has finally found some form and is slowly climbing back to the player he was years ago before injury troubles. He made a pretty solid Bastad tournament and here in Gstaad he had to face Gaston and Delbonis which are two clay specialists so those were really solid wins

Varillas is having his best ATP tournament and only plays Clay with some quality but at 26 it worries me that he is still playing Challengers all the time and I don't expect him to leave these top 120/top 80 rankings at any point. In this tournament he still hasn't faced a player with the quality that Dominic Thiem has in this surface

At this stage of the event Varillas is probably the easiest opponent that Thiem could have got and with the Peruvian not having really strong qualities this is a good match for Thiem to get used to longer rallies and to dictate the point when he needs to

Expecting the former top 3 in the world to bring us another solid performance.
