PARIS (Reuters) - Fast-rising Austrian Dominic Thiem out-muscled teenager Alexander Zverev 6-7(4) 6-3 6-3 6-3 to reach his first grand-slam fourth round at the French Open on Saturday.

The 22-year-old 13th seed, already leading the charts for claycourt wins this year, was cool, calm and composed as he recovered from the loss of the opening set to make it three wins in four weeks against the German.
