It's actually a really important moment for me because I [had] my greatest success of my career in this weird 2020. It was strange and different circumstances and unfortunately I had this success without any of you. So that was of course a really amazing moment, but on the other hand, also pretty sad. So I'm super happy that I got the chance to play my last US Open, my last match here on this court, and now I can spend some time with you guys to say thank you to all of you.
In addition to highlights of his 2020 run shown on the videoboard, Thiem was presented with a framed poster from the tournament featuring pictures from the years of his time playing at the US Open. After posing for photos on court, he sat and watched Shelton do his postmatch interview. He later said he just tried to soak everything in.
