The second seeded slit to his win after he claimed victory with a second match point, lying behind the baseline after winning with his arms outstretched.
Covered in clay, the player climbed up and faced the Roland Garros audience that have grown used to seeing Nadal win. 25-year-old Thiem suffered his second Grand Slam loss after he lost in three sets to Nadal last year.
