Thiem wins title in Umag

Umag - Austria's Dominic Thiem won his second career title in Umag on Sunday when he defeated Portugal's Joao Sousa 6-4, 6-1 in a Croatia Open final watched by world No 1 Novak Djokovic.

The 21-year-old Thiem prevailed in 62 minutes to add the Umag crown to his maiden title from Nice on the eve of the French Open in May.

Thiem had eliminated top seed Gael Monfils in the semi-finals and carried over that form into the final against Sousa who he has now defeated three times in as many meetings.

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
