Rafael Nadal sunk to the clay after beating Dominic Thiem to win the French Open. Thiem knew he could scarcely afford to go a set behind the reigning champion - and falling two adrift would have all but extinguished his hopes.Following the intensity of the opening set, the level dropped in the second as serve dominated.Only six receiving points were won in the opening 11 games - five for Nadal and just one for Thiem - before Thiem, out of nowhere, found himself with two set points.And the Austrian levelled the match when Nadal blinked again, hitting a backhand long after a 10-shot rally.But the exertions of winning that set, playing four days in a row and having 24 hours fewer than Nadal to recover from the semi-finals, perhaps took their toll.Nadal nipped off court at the end of the set, possibly for a mental reset as much as anything else, leaving Thiem waiting on the baseline for the start of the third set.Whether Nadal was using delaying tactics or not, the break of momentum worked.Thiem delivered a poor service game as Nadal broke to love, the Spaniard backing that up with a hold to love sealed with an exquisite stun volley that even prompted a thumbs up from the Austrian.Nadal won the opening 11 points of the third and clinched the double break with a trademark forehand down the line, an exuberant quadruple fist-pump celebration along the baseline stressing its importance.Thiem won just seven points in the third set before ending a miserable 30 minutes with another unforced error into the net.He began to look weary in the fourth set - particularly mentally - and Nadal smelt blood.The Spaniard moved into a 3-0 lead, after seeing off break points in his two service games, before breaking again for a 5-1 lead.Although Thiem saved one match point, he could not prevent the inevitable and batted a Nadal serve long to spark jubilant celebrations from the Spaniard.That was by far the best match we've seen at these championships.Thiem was physically standing toe-to-toe with Nadal in the first set.

But I managed it.This is Alexander Kahr and Horst Gruber, who - if you can't guess from the red and white scarves and vintage football shirts - are from Austria.They arrived in Paris at 8am this morning after deciding to dash over about 4pm last night - after Thiem finally got past Novak Djokovic in their weather-delayed semi-final.And they're on Chatrier, thanks to some Austrian friends in Paris. Thiem trailed by an early break in the 2018 final but on this occasion, the 25-year-old broke first for 3-2 courtesy of his powerhouse forehand.
