NEW YORK (Reuters) - With five matches down at the U.S. Open, Dominic Thiem still finds it difficult to maintain intensity in the absence of fans but even without them the second seed expects his next outing against last year's finalist Daniil Medvedev to be a blockbuster.

Thiem took down Australian Alex de Minaur 6-1 6-2 6-4 in Wednesday's final match on the Arthur Ashe Stadium, which would in previous years be bustling with a crowd of close to 24,000.
