Dominic Thiem will take a two sets to one lead to sleep on Wednesday night as his second-round match at Roland Garros with #NextGenATP Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas was suspended because of darkness 6-2, 2-6, 6-4.
Thiem is trying to reach his third consecutive semi-final at Roland Garros and is a favourite to challenge 10-time champion Rafael Nadal in Paris. The Austrian, though, has been pushed by the 19-year-old Tsitsipas, who beat Thiem last month in straight sets at the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell.

Thiem raced through the opening set but Tsitsipas rebounded well, breaking three times to even the match. Thiem, however, powered his way past the Greek to take the third set.
The winner of Thiem-Tsitsipas will next meet Italian Matteo Berrettini, who beat 2014 semi-finalist Ernests Gulbis of Latvia 6-2, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3.
