Djokovic played his semi-final against Roger Federer on Thursday night, with Thiem beating Zverev on Friday night."There are disadvantages but also advantages," Thiem said. A nervous start against old foe Roger Federer briefly threatened him in their semi-final, before Djokovic reasserted himself to ease through in three sets as the Swiss struggled with a groin injury.
"It is tough to teach the guy who has been the best tennis player in the world over the past nine years but he still wants to improve every day," added Croat Ivanisevic.
