The passion and intensity was high when Dominic Thiem and Alexander Zverev went head-to-head in the opening round of the ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament in Rotterdam.
Zverev arrived at the Dutch event fresh off his title in Montpellier, while Thiem was looking for a big win after losing six of his last seven matches against top-20 opposition.
Thiem ultimately won in 3-6 6-3 6-4 after nearly two hours on court, but not before some fireworks …
