Djokovic 2-6 6-3 2-4 Thiem*

Thiem has so many bags of energy this morning the check-in desk is charging him an extra grand.

He comes forward to force Djoko into an error.

However he then makes a double fault and rushes a shot.

15-30.

Thiem is doing that thing of conserving energy for his own service game.

I do that - admittedly by that stage I'm already three games down.

Djoko wins to 15.

Murmurs of amazement start to be heard during that 23-shot rally, the Chatrier crowd managing to keep a lid on their emotions until erupting when Thiem whacks the winner down the line.

Chatrier only half full/half empty, depending on your glass.
