Tennis: Thiem wins first Grand Slam after epic win over Zverev

Dominic Thiem won his first major title by outlasting Alexander Zverev in the first US Open final to be decided in a fifth-set tiebreaker on Sunday. The Austrian became the first player since 1949 to come back from two sets down in New York - the last player who was able to do the same was Pancho Gonzales against Ted Schroeder with a 16–18, 2–6, 6–1, 6–2, 6–4 victory. Thiem won 2-6, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 7-6 (8-6).
