Thiem deservedly enters the final of the French Open 2019

Austria's Dominic Thiem will defeat Serbia's Novak Djkokovic today in the semifinals of the 2019 French Open.

Wind and rain caused problems for the two opponents and the organizers. The match had to be interrupted yesterday and was continued today. And also today had to be interrupted at times because of rain and also the wind made both players difficult.

Overall, the young Austrian impressed with his strong returns. You didn't want to be in the skin of Novak Djokovic, the returns were often enough simply devastating. Enormously powerful rallies determined the match, a match at eye level, even if most probably had the current number 1 on their mind. Even though Thiem repeatedly weakened and unnecessarily surrendered a game, he was extremely combative and impressed with a wealth of variations, unbelievable lops, and powerful passing shots, which kept Djokovic under pressure at all times. There was no mental breather for the Serb, who too often failed to convince on his serve. The Serb took back the fourth set with a full fight and it was really close that he could equalize the sets again. The 5th set should bring the decision and it corresponded to the pattern of the whole match. Not only was the match very close, but thanks to the rain, the court had to be covered again and the match was interrupted once more. Thiem seemed to make better use of this break, because he won this set on Djokovic's serve at 5:6 with a first-class winner.

The surprise, especially among Djokovic fans, was great, but overall the victory seems deserved, because the Austrian has fought with more energy, determination and heart and convinced with winners, with which he successfully ended the match. After a match worth seeing, it became clear that the current number 4 in the ATP world rankings from Austria has what it takes to become number 1. Here one can only congratulate!
