It was the first big surprise of the tournament, which got underway this Sunday in Paris.
Thiem thus extended his slump on the European brick dust, as after reaching the semifinals at the Masters 1000 in Madrid, he said goodbye in his second presentation in Rome and in his ATP debut in Lyon.
Andújar, meanwhile, arrived in the French capital inspired, after playing the semifinals in Geneva, where he had the pleasure of beating Roger Federer in the round of 16 and then lost in the pre-final instance to the Norwegian Casper Ruud.
