Both Thiem and Zverev are known for their aggressive baseline playing, and near the end of the match, the pair continued to battle it out in long, grueling baseline rallies. In front of a noticeably quiet, fan-less crowd at Arthur Ashe Stadium in Flushing Meadows, New York, the pair played for four hours with both feeling the effects on their legs toward the end. It is the second consecutive year that the US Open men's singles final has gone the distance, and fourth consecutive Grand Slam men's singles final to have gone five sets. Thiem battled back from losing the first two sets to win three straight sets, including a fifth set tiebreaker, to win the match. Prior to the US Open win, Thiem had lost his three other Grand Slam finals appearances, with the most recent loss to Novak Djokovic in five-sets at this year's Australian Open. Thiem joins Thomas Muster (1995 French Open) as the only Austrian men to win a Grand Slam championship. morydl1MSY- US Open Tennis September 14, 2020
