Dominic Thiem has won his first Grand Slam title after he fought back to beat Alexander Zverev in the US Open final on Sunday night.
Thiem looked destined for agonizing defeat, having previously fallen short in three finals, however his experience helped a lot as he got the better of Zverev, first Grand Slam final, in key moments of the match.
Both players failed to serve out victory in a tense decider before Thiem sealed a 2-6 4-6 6-4 6-3 7-6 (8-6) win.
“I wish we could have two winners today, we both deserve it,” Thiem told Zverev.
