Dominic Thiem was exceptional in defeating Novak Djokovic at the ATP Finals in a tie that the Austrian described himself as a real classic and an epic.

On a personal note, he said that it might be the best match that he has ever played and that beforehand he knew he had to play someway like that to defeat him and add another win to his tally at the ATP Finals.
“It was maybe the best match I’ve ever played,” Thiem said. “It was a real classic and epic match, which will happen from time to time at these big tournaments.”
“I knew that I had to play like this to beat him. Against everybody who qualified for this tournament here, there is a special effort necessary to win. I did it against Roger, and I did it also today,” Thiem said.
“Probably Novak is the best player in the world right now, so I had to do something outstanding, something unusual, and that's what I did. I mean, I was hitting really, really hard.”
