World leader Novak Djokovic was three sets behind Dominic Thiem in the ATP World Cup semifinals on Saturday afternoon, thus missing the tournament final.
17-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic played 2020 US Open winner Dominic Thiem in the ATP World Cup semi-final.
In the first set, the Austrian player was able to take his Serbian opponent’s serve once, thus winning it 7: 5. The second game brought the biggest battle of the match, sensational ball runs ensued and Djokovic tied in a acronym, so the deciding set could follow.
In the third game, at 6: 6, Djokovic tied 4-0 in the tie-break. At the time, though, Thiem got off to an incredible start, winning six innings in a row, giving him two match points. The Austrian also took his second chance, so after 2019 he reached the final again.
Novak Djokovic was thus left behind in a high-quality match lasting almost three hours against Dominic Thiem, who will win the final between Rafael Nadal and Danyiil Medvedev.
