Tien made headlines when he upset the fifth-ranked player, Medvedev, in the fourth round of the Australian Open as a qualifier. This victory made him the youngest man to defeat a top-five player at the Australian Open in PIF ATP Rankings history. He also qualified for the 2024 Next Gen ATP Finals and reached the final by defeating top-seeded players Fils and Mensik in the round-robin stage and Michelsen in the semifinals. Tien holds an impressive winning streak of 28 matches from May to July 2024, including titles at M15 San Diego twice, M15 Rancho Santa Fe, M15 Lakewood, and his first Challenger title in Bloomfield Hills, which is the biggest title of his career.
