Earlier this year, Dominic Thiem asserted that the top 3 can be toppled this year at the grand slams. Now, he has the chance of doing just that as one of the top 3, #1 seed Rafael Nadal, is in his side of the draw, and a possible quarterfinal match with him will show, if indeed, one of today's young guns is ready to topple, at least, one of the top 3.
For me though, I will wait for the results instead, and for now, Rafa holds a 9-4 H2H with Dominic so I feel Rafa still has what it takes to propel him to another Australian Open final, being a runner-up last year.
Among his other possible nemesis on the way include compatriot Pablo Carreno Busta and dangerous Russian player Karen Khachanov. Alexander Zverev of Germany is his possible opponent in the semi's.
