PARIS (Reuters) - Dominic Thiem achieved something few players have ever managed in any of Rafael Nadal's 12 French Open finals on Sunday. Nadal scooped it back but Thiem pounded away a smash to claim the first break. THIEM CLOSER"I think that I developed my game," Thiem, whose semi-final win over world number one Novak Djokovic took two days and ended only 23 hours before the final, told reporters. "He (Nadal) also improves and develops his game," Thiem said. "I think we both got better compared to last year, so my goal is to improve even more and come closer and closer."
