Defending champion Novak Djokovic loses in French Open quarterfinals
PARIS – Novak Djokovic is out of the French Open.
The defending champion from Serbia lost to sixth-seeded Dominic Thiem 7-6 (5), 6-3, 6-0 in the quarterfinals.
Thiem will next face Rafael Nadal in the semifinals. The 23-year-old Austrian beat Nadal last month in Rome in the Spaniard’s only loss on clay this season.
The second-seeded Djokovic had two set points in the opener but couldn’t convert either. Thiem took over after that, winning the third set in only 20 minutes.
