Thiem admits he was lucky "I messed up in the 3rd set", following victory at Roland Garros against Sock
ATP
Dominic Thiem defeated Jack Sock in the 2nd round of Roland Garros but a late lapse of focus in the 3rd set almost cost him the set.
Dominic Thiem escaped a possibly long match against Jack Sock with a late rally in the 3rd set to advance to the 3rd round of Roland Garros. After the match he admitted he was lucky to get away with it:
"I'm very happy. I messed it up a bit in the third set, up 4-3 and 40/15. I found myself in the tie-break and he played very well, particularly in the second and third sets. I was lucky to save the three set points in the tie-break."

Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
