THE PREDICTION
Former world number three Dominic Thiem reached back-to-back semi-finals here in 2016 and 2017 and then back-to-back finals in the following two seasons, losing to Novak Djokovic in 2016 and then Rafael Nadal in each of those last three. The 29-year-old finally claimed a Grand Slam title of his own in 2020 with a remarkable comeback from two sets down over Alexander Zverev at the US Open but that was the most recent of his 17 ATP titles as he continues to struggle back from wrist surgery undertaken last year. World number 63 Pedro Cachin looks a genuine test of Thiem’s resolve here after a recent run to the round of 16 at the Madrid Open saw the Argentine upset Frances Tiafoe and Francisco Cerundolo before a very tight three-set defeat to eventual runner-up Jan-Lennard Struff. The 28-year-old has struggled to impose himself since then but a three-set defeat to his compatriot Sebastian Baez at the Lyon Open on Wednesday suggests there are sets in this clash for both players.
Thiem’s main issue on court appears to be psychological right now and it remains to be seen if Paris can reawaken his once fearsome game. Back the Austrian to earn at least two sets and leave the victor up to chance.
