Dominic Thiem entered the second round of the € 38.41 million French Open on Friday with a solid performance without dropping a single set. The 27-year-old from Lower Austria defeated Norwegian Casper Ruud after 2:15 hours 6: 4, 6: 3, 6: 1 and qualified for his fourteenth round of the round of 16. In this, Thiem will face either Swiss Triple Grand Slam winner Stan Wawrinka or French wild card Hugo Gaston on Sunday.
With sets of 9-0 he is into the fourth round, with Thiem again showing strong nerves in moments. So he turned a 1: 3 into a 5: 3 in the competitive first set. Thiem has secured 189,000 euros and 180 ATP counters with the round of 16. Thiem has a 1: 3 record against Wawrinka, he has never played against the unknown outsider Gaston. However, the 35-year-old Swiss last played against Thiem in the Indian Wells quarter-finals in 2017 (4: 6, 6: 4, 6: 7). (apa)
