Dominant Thiem Cruises Past Medvedev to Win Barcelona Open Title

BARCELONA, Spain — Dominic Thiem defeated Daniil Medvedev 6-4, 6-0 to win the Barcelona Open on Sunday.

The fifth-ranked Austrian cruised to victory for his second title of the year, adding to his triumph in Indian Wells last month.

Thiem defeated Roger Federer in the Indian Wells final, and Rafael Nadal in the Barcelona semifinals to become the first player other than Novak Djokovic to defeat the Spaniard on clay four times.

It was Thiem's first final on clay since last year's French Open, when he lost to Nadal. He had also lost to the Spaniard in the Barcelona final two years ago.
