Paris: Last year's runner-up Dominic Thiem reached the French Open last 16 for the fourth straight year on Saturday with a four-set win over Uruguayan Pablo Cuevas.

The Austrian fourth seed dropped the second set to world number 47 Cuevas, but did enough to win 6-3, 4-6, 6-2, 7-5 and set up a fourth-round clash with French favourite Gael Monfils.
