in #sprtshub6 years ago

With this results, Thiem has now advanced to the finals of the French Open. He has also broken records with this result, having become the first Austrian man since 1995 to reach a Grand Slam Final.

The last man was Thomas Muster in 1995 who went on to finish triumphantly at the Roland Garros.

Although Cecchinato who currently sits at World number 72 played as fearlessly as he could, he could not match up with the 24 year old Thiem.

Now, Thiem will face Rafa Nadal, a familiar opponent. Nadal made it to the final after beating Juan Martin Del Potro 6-4 6-1 6-2.

Although the game wanted to seem a bit tough at the beginning, Rafa managed to keep a cool head, adjust his game and frustrate the Argentine with flat shots and well placed shots.
