I think Thiem has gained some serious confidence from the Nadal match, although he lost, that he can compete on hard courts.
Haven't watched the match today but looks like it was pretty straightforward for him. Congrats.
I think so too. He seems to turn the corner in his career on hards.

He reached the finals at RG. So, you would think he had confidence in his play prowess. But, he lost in the first round of 250 in his hometown on clay. It is difficult to estimate how confidence works.

He was playing some really confident and solid tennis at the last of that match, which was all I watched.
