Dominic Thiem, double finalist in 2018 and 2019, was eliminated in the first round of Roland-Garros on Monday in five sets and almost four hours by the Argentinian Pedro Cachin (64th) who is participating for the second time in the Major on clay . The 29-year-old Austrian, former world No.3 who fell to 92nd place this week, lost 6-3, 6-2, 6-7 (1/7), 4-6, 6-2 against the 28-year-old Argentinian who lost last year in the second round for his first Grand Slam tournament.
He then reached the third round at the US Open without having participated in Wimbledon. This year, he will try to reach the third round in Paris by facing Croatian Borna Coric (16th). Thiem, winner of the US Open 2020, is trying to return to his best level after ten months of absence (between 2021 and 2022) to treat a wrist injury.
