The Nicolás Massú’s pupil, Dominic Thiem (3rd ATP), beat number 1 Novak Djokovic in a spectacular duel; 7-5, 6-7 (10/12) and 7-6 (7/5), this Saturday in London to reach the final of the Masters.

Thiem, runner-up last year -Stefanos Tsitsipas triumph-, He will play on Sunday for the title with the winner of the duel between Rafael Nadal (2nd) and Daniil Medvedev (4th).

Champion of the US Open, the first Grand Slam in his record, Thiem was able to overcome in the deciding set a 4-0 adverse in the tie break against Djokovic.

Before saving the four match points, another duel to remember, like the one he played in the group stage of this Masters against Nadal and also won.

At the 02 Arena in London, without an audience due to the pandemic in its 12th and last edition before the tournament moved to Turin, Thiem had prevailed in the first set by taking advantage of his only break.

Both players saved their serve in the next one, which fell from the hand of ‘Djoko’, the great master of sudden deaths, after de Thiem had four match balls.

The Austrian looked tired and could be weighed down by the missed opportunity. Nothing of that. Both tennis players took care of their serve until the end, but this time Thiem signed a historic comeback in the tie break and from the adverse 4-0 went on to triumph based on whipping.
