Lyon loss hands Thiem fresh Roland Garros setback

World number four Dominic Thiem suffered a fresh setback in his Roland Garros build-up when he was knocked out of the Lyon ATP event in his opening match on Thursday.

Top seed Thiem, 27, lost to Britain’s 49th-ranked Cameron Norrie 6-3, 6-2 in just over an hour.

Thiem, a two-time runner-up at Roland Garros, won just one match at the Italian Open last week, arriving in Rome on the back of a semifinal run at Madrid where he belatedly started his clay court season.

“It was an unexpected victory,” said Norrie. “I played well and I could not be happier.”
