Thiem is proving more and more that he is worthy of the title `Prince of Clay Court`.
The second semi-final continues at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 8 (Hanoi time), when Thiem had a 3-1 advantage in the third set before the match was postponed due to weather.
Right in the first minutes, drama appeared when the two pulled each other into difficult ball situations.
The last game of the third set lasted about 15 minutes, both took turns winning points, but in the end the 7-5 victory belonged to Thiem thanks to backhands along the line scoring important points.

Set four also ended with the same score but in the opposite direction.
The defending runner-up opened the deciding set with an absolutely winning service game, before taking advantage of Djokovic’s three consecutive unforced errors to break the service game and take a 3-1 lead.
It rained again in Paris when the clock on the field showed 2:22 p.m. local time (7:22 p.m. Hanoi time).
An hour later, returning to Court Philippe Chatrier, the former champion of the 2016 tournament saved another break-point to preserve the game.
Thiem had two consecutive opportunities to end the match while leading 5-3 but missed them both due to his hasty mentality causing him to miss shots.
