Dominic Thiem wins a rather tiring title in Lyon just ahead of his campaign at the Roland Garros.

The Austrian had a busy day the 25th to win the quarters and semis in the same day after playing almost 5 hours. Then, Dominic had to face Gilles Simon in the final when he had to recover from a 3-6 2-4 deficit before winning the match 3-6 7-6 (1) 6-1.

I am super happy. THIEM

Soon after the match, Dominic commented

“I’m super happy. I fought really hard for this title. I’m really happy that I won. It’s always something special. It’s my tenth title, which is a great number.”

This is Thiem’s 10th career title and the 2nd of 2018 after Buenos Aires. Domonic will now go to Paris where he will face the world no.119 Ilya Ivashka in the opener.
