Aljaz Bedene ousted by Dominic Thiem at Roland Garros

Great Britain's Aljaz Bedene is beaten in four sets by Dominic Thiem in the opening round of the French Open.

Great Britain's Aljaz Bedene has lost in the opening round of the French Open to Austria's Dominic Thiem.

Bedene got off to a slow start, finding himself 1-5 down before Thiem closed out the opening set 6-3 with minimal fuss.

World number 31 Thiem seized control of the second with two early breaks, allowing him to tighten his grip on the match by clinching it 6-4.

Despite calling for the medic to treat a wrist injury, Bedene fought back in the third. Having forced a tie-break by saving two break points, the Brit then saved two match points on his way to winning the breaker 7-6[6].

However, his resurgence was short-lived as Thiem needed a single break before sealing his progress 6-3 6-4 6-7[6] 6-3 in the fourth.
