Dominic Thiem has opened up about his exchange with former world No.1 Andy Murray following their match at the Madrid Open on Monday.
The pair have struggled with injuries in recent years, with Thiem's appearance in Madrid just his third tour event in almost a year due to a wrist problem. Murray, meanwhile, has been plagued by a long-standing hip injury which forced him to undergo two major surgeries and he now plays with a metal hip.
Murray faced Thiem in the first round of the Madrid Open, with the pair facing off for the first time in three years. After Murray won the match 6-3, 6-4, he shared a heartwarming moment with Thiem at the net, saying: "It's great to see you back. Keep going. It takes a lot of time but you'll be fine."
