3 Things to Know: June 17

1

Dominic Thiem can’t seem to stop playing every single week, and winning (nearly) every single match. The 22-year-old just won his first grass-court title in Stuttgart last week, and moved into the quarterfinals in Halle after a 6-4, 6-1 win over Teymur Gabashvili. The Austrian broke into the Top 10 after his semifinal showing in Paris, and since then he's been gracing the world with grass-court theatrics like this:

Thiem was meant to face Philipp Kohlschreiber next, but the German withdrew, meaning Thiem is now into his ninth semifinal of the year.

In the second round at Queen's Club, Andy Murray moved into the quarterfinals with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Aljaz Bedene, and faces compatriot Kyle Edmund next. Edmund benefited from a walkover from Paul-Henri Mathieu.

Milos Raonic also advanced with a 7-5, 7-6 (6) win over Jiri Vesely, and Bernard Tomic fought back to over come Fernando Verdasco, 6-7 (2), 6-4, 6-4. Despite having 10 match points, John Isner lost to Gilles Muller, 3-7, 7-6 (16), 7-6 (7).

Latvia’s Jelena Ostapenko upset No. 5 seed Petra Kvitova in Birmingham, 6-4, 4-6, 6-3. The 19-year-old actually beat Kvitova earlier this year in Doha. She faces Madison Keys in the quarterfinals. Keys beat Tamira Paszek, 6-1, 6-3 to advance, and needs just two more wins to crack the Top 10.

In Mallorca, Ana Ivanovic breezed into the quarterfinals with a 6-1, 6-0 win over Sara Sorribes Tormo, while Carolina Garcia also moved on with a 6-4, 7-6 (8) win over Anna-Lena Friedsam.
