Since losing in the quarter-finals last year against Marco Cecchinato Djokovic has won 26 grand slam tournament matches in a row. It is some ask but he seems to have the enthusiasm and energy for it – and the fitness. In the other quarter-final Thiem made mincemeat of the inconsistent but dangerous Russian Karen Khachanov 6-2, 6-4, 6-2 in an hour and 47 minutes. Djokovic, who has hit another pitch here after a mixed run on clay, sensed the German faltering and took his chance. It’s incredibly difficult to win a slam, especially for us players who don’t have one yet.
