Former British number one on BBC Radio 5 LiveWe always talk about momentum. At the end of the second set, Thiem won four points in a row. Now Nadal has won eight points in a row. How quickly has the momentum shifted?

The Alan McManus of tennis - Nadal is finding all the angles.
He swings Thiem from side to side before polishing off the game with a deft touch at the net.
Thiem has yet to win a point in this set.

It's not quite the Wimbledon hill, but those deckchairs don't look a bad place to enjoy the final at Roland Garros.

Image source, BBC SportSpot the difference...
Rafa nips off court quickly, presumably to the little boys' room. And for a mental reset. Thiem munches on an energy-boosting snack.
Thiem keen to crack on. He waits on the baseline while Rafa faffs about in his bag.
Well, it worked...

Former British number one on BBC Radio 5 LiveThis is exactly what we wanted from this final. Thiem did everything right to get that crucial break. We have got a match, there are going to be some doubts creeping in for Rafa even though he's won this 11 times.
