“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.”
Thiem will play Stefanos Tsitsipas in Sunday’s final after the Greek defeated Alexander Zverev 7-6 (8-6), 6-4 in the second semi-final.
