Dominic Thiem v Albert Ramos-Vinolas Head to Head
The two players have met twice on the ATP tour with each winning once. They first met in 2016 in the final eight of the Chengdu Open which was won by the Spaniard. Thiem won the next year when they met at the Rio Open, in the semi-finals.
Thiem Yet to Drop a Set This Week
French Open finalist Dominic Thiem is once again in the finals at Kitzbuhel, as he strives to become the first Austrian since Thomas Muster in 1993 to win the title.
Thiem is yet to drop a set thus far this week, as he had three straight set wins thus far. The Austrian was challenged in the second set by Pablo Andujar in the quarter-finals, as well as by Italian Lorenzo Sonego in the semis. However, he was able to come out on top and win without much trouble.
The world number four has had a strong clay court season, winning the Barcelona ATP 500 and was a finalist at the French Open, after an epic semifinal victory against world number one Novak Djokovic. He also won his first ATP Masters 1000 earlier this year, on the hard courts of Indian Wells.
Thiem has been a strong favorite throughout the tournament, but there is the pressure of home crowd expectations and him finally winning the elusive title at Kitzbuhel.
