Thiem able to enter Roland Garros without wild card, achieves main clay court goal

Dominic Thiem officially achieved his goal for the clay season which is to improve his ranking enough to enter the main draw of Roland Garros.

It comes after a few solid wins in the past two weeks which will push him back into the top 100 giving him enough of a points cushion not to have to worry about Roland Garros. His goal ahead of the clay season was to earn enough points to put himself in a position of not having to play the qualifier to make the event's main draw.

With the few wins in Estoril and Monte-Carlo, Thiem did just that. He'll still play in the coming weeks in order to improve his ranking even further. He will even play some challenges to play himself into a good rhythm because he needs it. The confidence is slowly returning and a few more wins would do him good. Doesn't have to be on the ATP main tour level.
