Djoko is furious after he misses a return. His scream is heard as far as Monaco, I think.

The quality of some of these net volleys - there are more tight angles than an acute triangle - has left several fans scrambling to their feet in applause.
*Djokovic 2-6 6-3 5-7 7-5 0-1 Thiem
Aye carumba!
Thiem rips up the rules of geometry with a logic-defying angled winner at the net.

Deuce.
*Djokovic 2-6 6-3 5-7 7-5 0-1 Thiem
Now then, it's deuce after Thiem just about the 'scramble at net' duel.

Djokovic nipped off court for a quick break at the end of that fourth set, leaving Thiem waiting for a minute or two before play resumed.
The Austrian was eager to back on with things, up on his feet and keen to get off to a flyer in the decider. And that's what he did.
Thiem has never played a five-setter at Roland Garros, Djokovic has won six of his eight here.
And, in his last 10 deciding sets, Djokovic has won nine of them.

Djoko goes 30-0 but then fails to get to another one of those perfectly-placed drops from Thiem.

The Argentine was in tremendous form to win his fourth Slam.

But then Djoko snatches at an attempted drop from the back, which fails to carry over the netting.
Thiem, however, goes long to bring an end to a rally.
30-15.

Thiem looks to he heavens. He's not checking the weather. He's rueing handing over a big opportunity to Djokovic.
If this match goes into a fifth then you'd have to think there is a good chance the women's final will not start as scheduled at 14:00 BST.
*Djokovic 2-6 6-3 5-7 6-5 Thiem
Djoko is one game away from a decider.
