Novak Djokovic and Dominic Thiem will play for a place in the final in Madrid on Saturday at 4 pm.
Djokovic
The world no.1 had a rather lucky passage to the semifinal. In fact, after starting his run from the 2nd round, he defeated the world no.57 and qualifier Taylor Fritz 6-4 6-2 before beating the world no.47 Jeremy Chardy 6-1 7-6 (2). Then Nole didn’t have to play in the quarters because Marin Cilic had to withdraw because of a stomach bug.
Thiem
Dominic’s campaign in Madrid was much more tricky after he beat Reilly Opelka after the American withdrew when he was 1-0 down in the 3rd set and then the Austrian defeated Fabio Fognini 6-4 7-5 at the end of a great match. Things got rather complicated for Thiem in the quarters before finding the way to beat Roger Federer 3-6 7-6 (11) 6-4 after facing 2 match points.
Head to head Novak Djokovic vs. Dominic Thiem
The head to head between Nole and Dominic is 5-2 for the Serbian, but it’s 2-2 on clay and the Austrian won the last 2 matches.
