Dominik Thiem, the defending champion of the Nice Open, once again claimed victory on the azure clay by defeating Alexander Zverev in the final. He thus wins a second trophy in two years.
And that’s two for Dominik Thiem! The Austrian won in 3 sets (6/4 3/6 6/0) against Alexander Zverev and claims the Nice Open for the second consecutive time.
The young German, playing in the first final of his career, gave it his all to prevent Thiem from winning. Despite winning the second set, he could do nothing in the third against the determination of the world’s 15th-ranked player.
With this victory, Dominik Thiem wins his third tournament in 2016 after those in Acapulco and Buenos Aires.
Both players are now focused on the French Open which begins this Sunday. They could face each other in the third round of the Parisian tournament if they win their first two matches.
