"Do-min-ic! Do-min-ic!" rings around Chatrier as Thiem picks up the silver.
One would assume he will get his mitts on the Coupe des Mousquetaires one day. Probably after Rafa decides to hang up his racquet.
Rod Laver, the 11-time Grand Slam champion, presents La Coupe des Mousquetaires to your 2019 French Open men's singles title winner Rafael Nadal.

We have to pay credit to Dominic Thiem. He has to believe that one day he'll be back in the final here and won't be playing Rafael Nadal.

Nadal chucks his sweat-patched, clay-covered shirt towards his box. Looked like it nearly hit his mum.
