Rafael Nadal has already won a record 11 titles in Roland-Garros and is the favorite to win today.
The Spaniard has to his credit 17 Grand Slam crowns and his last major tournament to come 12 months ago in Paris.
It's a repeat of last year's final with Nadal defeating Thiem 6-4 6-3 6-2 last June.
But Nadal remains focused while he's looking to narrow the gap with Roger Federer, 20-time Grand Slam winner.
"The day I start wondering if it's incredible or not, it will probably be the day to do something else," Nadal said.
"What I have to do today is not to think if it is incredible, because it is a real thing for me.
"Even though it was something I had never dreamed about five, six, or eight years ago, it is happening today.
"And my goal is simply to try to keep going. It's not about being over-ambitious, but trying to keep enjoying what I'm doing.
"I hope to have plenty of time to think about it when I stop my tennis career. Today, it is simply to enjoy the day today.
"Of course, this has been a very important achievement for me.
"To be in the final of Roland-Garros means once again a lot and especially to return from a difficult situation after all the injuries that I suffered."
