The good memories of 2018, when Dominic Thiem won the title in Lyon, did not carry the Austrian number one far three years later. Thiem lost his first match against Cameron Norrie 3: 6 and could not achieve his goal of gaining enough match practice for the French Open.
Norrie has already shown good tennis this year, winning a total of 20 matches. And over the entire season, he seemed like the player with significantly more self-confidence. In addition, Dominic Thiem sprinkled double faults at inconvenient times, Norrie consistently used his chances.
Before that, the number two of the tournament in Lyon, Stefanos Tsitsipas , had shown no nakedness. The Greek won against Tommy paul from the USA 6: 1 and 6: 4. Thiem's buddy Diego Schwartzman, on the other hand, had to give up on Richard Gasquet.
