Fourth set: Novak Djokovic 6-4 4-6 2-6 3-2* Dominic Thiem: Djokovic keeps himself ahead with perhaps his best hold since the second set. He served much better and sealed it off with a dainty cat-and-mouse point in which he brought Thiem forward and then finished the point at the net.
Perhaps most importantly, he seems to have figured out how he should hit his second serve now, forcing a return error with a very solid 145kmh second serve at 30-0.
Fourth set: Novak Djokovic 6-4 4-6 2-6 *2-2 Dominic Thiem: As Djokovic tries to find his level again, Thiem looks free. He held with another sliding ace in a game that included some exceptional hitting, including yet another searing backhand down the line winner.
