Tennis: Nadal the 'huge favourite' at French Open - Thiem

Dominic Thiem dismisses suggestions Rafael Nadal is not the man to beat at Roland Garros. Thiem: “For me, he's [Rafael Nadal] the huge favourite here. Obviously it's a lot of different things going on this year with way less crowd, with the tournament going on three or four months later. It's cold conditions. But with his name and with his past here at the tournament, he's still the huge favourite. "I like these conditions. And anyway, we have to do the best we can, because it's a very special year."
