Thiem, a finalist at Roland Garros in the last two years, had won his previous 11 matches at majors following his U.S. Open victory last month, but on Tuesday, the diminutive Schwartzman was too big a mountain to climb. “In the end I gave everything I had out there. It was an amazing match. I think the first in my career over five hours. Diego fully deserves it.”
