Thiem has been enduring a tough time for a while now having struggled to find his best tennis following a long recovery from a wrist injury. The results are not good and the confidence seems to be up and down as well.

The loss against Coric left Thiem visibly dejected even though he was widely seen as an underdog in that match. It was the match that decided the tie as Croatia ultimately won 3-2 to advance to the Davis Cup Finals.
