Against the one year younger Brazilian (ATP-78th). Thiem never played. Should Thiem on Monday (not before 11:00 p.m. CET), he will face second-seeded Buenos Aires finalist Cameron Norrie in the round of 16.
Thiem still benefits in Brazil from a remaining “old” protected ranking, without which he would not have made it into the main competition. It is his sixth appearance in the metropolis on the Sugar Loaf, the first since 2020. 2017 Thiem celebrated one of his 17 tournament victories there.
