Overview

Djokovic faces the in-form Thiem as he looks to go one step closer to potentially winning his second career French Open title.

The 12-time Grand Slam champion has had a year to forget so far, crashing out in the second round of the Australian Open and suffering early defeats in the BNP Paribas Open, Monte-Carlo Masters and Madrid Open.

However, Djokovic's performances have improved of late, reaching the final of the Italian Open and having reached the quarter-final stage at Roland Garros with some impressive wins ever since the appointment of Andre Agassi as coach.

A win over the red hot Thiem en route to winning his first Grand Slam of the year could be the turning point for Djokovic, who many feel has lost his hunger for victory this year.

As for Thiem, he is one of the outside favourites to win the competition, not counting three of the big four currently playing in the Grand Slam.

The 23-year-old has played some fine tennis in the last couple of weeks, reaching the finals in Barcelona and Madrid and inflicting Rafael Nadal's only loss on clay this season in the Italian Open semi-final.

Thiem is also yet to drop a single set in the French Open so far as he will look to stop a losing run against Djokovic and go one better than last year by eventually reaching his first Grand Slam final.
