With the win, Thiem became the first male player born in the 1990s to claim a Grand Slam singles title, as well as the first Austrian to win a US Open singles title.
Domi had previously reached three other Grand Slam finals, losing at the 2018 and 2019 French Open to Rafael Nadal.

And at the 2020 Australian Open to Novak Djokovic, who won the tournament for a record eighth time.
Thiem secured his place in the quarter-finals after defeating France's Hugo Gaston and he will face Diego Schwartzmann of Argentina in the last eight.
"I think it was an amazing match for both of us, such good fighting qualities for him [Gaston]," Thiem said.
"I haven't seen for a very long time a player with such a big touch in his hands. His drop shots were from another planet. I was losing a little bit of energy, he was playing amazing.
"In the fifth set I found somehow new energy. It was a great fight to the end and I'm very lucky I made it through today."
