  • Top seed Novak Djokovic and Dominic Thiem reflected on their French Open semi-final match on Friday (3rd June) which Djokovic won 6-2, 6-1, 6-4 and he will now face Andy Murray in Sunday's final.

    SOUNDBITE (English): Novak Djokovic, defeated Dominic Thiem 6-2, 6-1, 6-4:

    "Best performance of the tournament. As I was hoping after the long fourth round (against Roberto Bautista Agut), I'm going to start playing better as the tournament progresses, and that's what's happening now. So I'm very pleased with the way things are going."

    SOUNDBITE (English): Novak Djokovic, defeated Dominic Thiem 6-2, 6-1, 6-4:(Q. You've obviously talked a lot about the possibility of completing the career Grand Slam, but what about the prospect of winning a fourth slam in a row? What would that mean to you?)

    "It's always high on the priority list when I start the season thinking about Roland Garros and to be able to reach finals is really special, and I have given myself another opportunity to win the trophy. For a change, it's great to have a day off tomorrow and I think it's goign to serve well to recover, to get that energy supply, and on Sunday I will give my all, as always."

    SOUNDBITE (English): Dominic Thiem, lost to Novak Djokovic 6-2, 6-1, 6-4:(Q. What is your feeling right now? Disappointment or satisfaction or maybe exhaustion? What is the biggest feeling now?)

    "No, right now I'm feeling empty, of course, but it's normal. It's after every tournament like this, after all the pressure goes away a little bit. Yes, of course, also a little bit of disappointment. Well, he was just too strong today, and that's pretty much everything."
