I'd say Andy's fitness improvement in a pretty short period has been close to remarkable. And the game is increasingly there.

I can see him overtaking Fed in the rankings before the end of next year.

 now that is a Vandenberg style prediction Indy! You'd better lie down!

Didn't see the first set, but apart from the three double faults while attempting to serve it out, Thiem barely put a foot wrong. At 40-40 when 5-6 down he nicked the line with an ace. He then nicked the line with another serve and also nicked the line with an amazing return to get up in the tiebreak. Andy perhaps a bit too passive letting Thiem hit a few too many confidence building winners, but a very decent effort, all things considered. Would have loved to watch a third set though.

 Maybe, but I think  gently does it (relatively) and  those two sets were quite enough for someone still

in recovery.

Andy lost to the eventual champion:

Dominic Thiem d. Stefanos Tsitsipas 3-6, 6-4, 6-1 to win Beijing for the first time.
Pretty sure before now Thiem had an appalling record in Asia so good on him.

As with De Minaur last week. Different days, different matches but again encouraging how competitive Andy was with both these title winners.

 Thiem also confirmed into tour finals.
