Kyrgios took a two set lead before being reeled in 4-6, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 by Thiem.
World number one Novak Djokovic is two sets to one up against Taylor Fritz of the United States.
Play was suspended as the Rod Laver Arena as crowds have to be evacuated as a five day circuit breaker lockdown in Melbourne has been initiated.
