Pedro Cachín (64)Dominic Thiem (ATP-92) was eliminated in the first round at Roland Garros for the third year in a row. In a marathon match, the 29-year-old Austrian lost 5 sets to Argentina’s Pedro Cachin (ATP-64) after 3 hours and 48 minutes.
The losing finalist of 2018 and 2019 has another rotten tournament in Paris.
Dominic Thiem is still dealing with the after-effects of his wrist injury that kept him aside for more than six months last year. His old level? Never seen again.
That became clear once again when the Austrian – who slipped to place 92 in the world ranking – immediately owed two sets against Argentinian Pedro Cachin.
He then fought his way back into the game after a tiebreak. But the fifth set was too much after more than 3 hours of tennis. Thiem broke, Cachin took breaks.
His adventure on the gravel in Paris is over for the third year in a row after the 1st round, much to the disappointment of Thiem himself.
