Thiem is giant slayer
Dominic Thiem produced a stunning upset over Novak Djokovic in the French Open semi-finals to end the world number one’s hopes of holding all four Grand Slam titles.
Djokovic had made repeating the feat, which he achieved with his first title at Roland Garros in 2016, a huge target, but Thiem cemented his status as the heir apparent to Rafael Nadal on clay with a dramatic 6-2, 3-6, 7-5, 5-7, 7-5 victory.
A roller-coaster of a fifth set, which included a rain break, saw Thiem miss two match points serving at 5-3 before eventually clinching it on his third chance.
Djokovic was a lot more focused at the restart, with conditions better but still cool and breezy, forcing Thiem to string exceptional shots together just to win points.
The Austrian fourth seed, who had led 3-1 in the third set when play was called off on Friday, will take on Nadal on Sunday in a repeat of last year’s final.
