PARISa292; June 3 (Xinhua) -- World No. 1 Novak Djokovic stormed into his 20th Grand Slam final with a 6-2a292; 6-1a292; 6-3 win over the French Open semifinal debutant Dominic Thiem on Friday.
The 29-year-old Serba292; seeking his first Roland Garros title to complete a career slama292; almost met no trouble from the outseta292; breaking the 22-year-old Thiem at the Austrian' s first serving game before breaking twice in the second set.
Thiema292; howevera292; roared back from the beginning of the third set to break Djokovic and take a 3-0 lead before the top seed reeled off five games in a row to deny the youngster' s effort.
Djokovica292; who' s already won the year' s opening major at Melbournea292; later better proved himself the kind of man with stern mind and steady performancea292; served out the match for his sixth straight slam final.
The Serb rated the semi his "best performance of the tournament" .
"As I was hoping after the long fourth round that I'm going to start playing better as the tournament progressesa292; and that's what's happening nowa292;" he said. His match against Thiem was taken to the Court Suzanne Lenglena292; which was unusual as the French Open men' s singles semifinalists normally play successively in Court Philippe Chatrier in stead of playing at the same time.
After too many rain delays and a washout on Monday for the first time at Roland Garros in 16 yearsa292; the clay-court major has been forced to make a compressed schedule in the second week.
"It was amazing ambiencea292; atmosphere on the Suzanne Lenglena292;" he said. "It was the first time I have played the semifinals of Roland Garros on that court."
"I'm obviously very glad to win in three sets and against a player that was in-forma292;" he added. "He carries himself very well on and off the court for his age. He's a leader of a new generationa292; very powerfula292; and has a lot of strength and variety in his game."
And Thiem said Djokovic was just too strong for the day' s match. "But still it inspires me to even work harder. I hope I get a new chance soon in the futurea292;" said the Austrian.
With Andy Murray seeing off defending champion Stan Wawrinka 6-4a292; 6-2a292; 4-6a292; 6-2 in the other semifinala292; Djokovic will try his chances for the straight second year against the Scot on Sunday.
If he takes the French titlea292; the Serb would come out the first man since Rod Laver in 1969 to hold all four Grand Slams at the same time.
Just hours before his semifinala292; Djokovic was fined 5500 U.S. dollars for flinging his racquet in the quarterfinals against Czech Thomas Berdych on Thursday when it nearly bounced at a linesman. Enditem
