Australian Open: Dominic Thiem beats Zverev to set up final with Djokovic

February 1, 2020

Tireless Dominic Thiem came from a set down to outlast German Alexander Zverev and make his first Australian Open final on Friday, booking a showdown with seven-time champion Novak Djokovic.

The 26-year-old fifth seed, the first player from Austria ever to reach the Melbourne decider, battled past seventh-ranked Zverev 3-6, 6-4, 7-6 (7/3), 7-6 (7/4) on a sweltering evening.

Defending champion Djokovic awaits him after the second seed ended Roger Federer’s dreams in straight sets Thursday to make his eighth Melbourne Park final.

Thiem has his work cut out against the Serb who is on a 12-match unbeaten streak this season and has won all seven of the Australian Open deciders he has contested.  

And if Djokovic needs extra motivation, winning on Sunday will see him reclaim the World No.1 Ranking after Rafael Nadal crashed to Thiem in the last eight.

The final clash between Thiem and Djokovic is scheduled for tomorrow                  (Feb. 2) at 2 pm (IST).
