Is a match that going to be a tough one, but will be interesting, no?
“I am excited to play this quarterfinals against Dominic. I know I have to be at my best to have chances.
“I think I am moving in the right direction. Every day I’m playing a little bit better.”
Thiem has also spoken ahead of the clash against Nadal on Wednesday, saying he feels he’s coming into form just at the right time.
He said: “I think that I played my best match so far of this Australian Open. A very, very good feeling.
“The score looks way easier than the match was. I think I was lucky to make an early break in each set and then was managing to hold my serve well.
“I’m so happy because I’m for the first time in the quarter-finals here.”
