Dominic Thiem fell in the opening round at Roland-Garros for the first time in his career after Pablo Andujar erased a two-set deficit to upset the Austrian No.4 seed 4-6, 5-7, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4.
The 35-year-old Andujar, who defeated Roger Federer en route to the Geneva semi-finals two weeks ago, continued his resurgent spring by claiming a four-hour 28-minute victory over the world No.4.
>> WHAT WE LEARNED FROM ANDUJAR'S WIN OVER THIEM
Andujar, ranked 68 in the world, now owns six top-10 victories, including the two he notched this month on red clay.
It is the first time the Spaniard has successfully fought back from two sets down and it earned him the 150th tour-level match-win of his career.
"It's very special for me, to achieve this at 35 years old, I don't know how much longer I'm going to play," an elated Andujar told the French crowd on court after claiming his first top-five win.
"This win is a real gift."
