Thiem is the fifth player to secure his place at The O2 Arena in London from November 10-17 with Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Daniil Medvedev the other players already confirmed.

“For me personally, it was one big goal when I started the season,” the 26-year-old said.

“I’m very, very happy that I made it again. But it’s not because of today’s win, it’s because of all the season. It’s a big honour for me to again be a part of [such a] big event in London. It also shows that I [have] played another very good and consistent season. I’m looking forward to it a lot.”
