We were all eager to see how much Dominic Thiem has progressed; but apparently not much; as in-form Italian Matteo Berrettini took him to task with a pretty straightforward 6-1; 6-4 victory in the Gstaad Swiss Open semi-final.
Thiem is currently ranked 274 in the world; and from the get-go; he was put on the defensive by the Italian's thunderous groundstrokes. Berrettini has been in fine form recently; and right from the first point; you could see he was determined to stamp his authority.
He will play another former champion in the final; in what promises to be a tantalizing clash against either in-form Casper Ruud; or Spanish clay-court specialist Albert Ramos-Vinola.
