World number one Djokovic had 追跡するd 2-6 6-3 1-3 on Friday when rain interrupted the match and then play was abandoned for the day にもかかわらず it 存在 a 大部分は 乾燥した,日照りの, though 風の強い, evening.

渦巻くing 勝利,勝つd were still buffeting 法廷,裁判所 Philippe Chatrier when play 再開するd just past midday 地元の time on Saturday and play was again interrupted for an hour before Thiem 完全にするd a 劇の 6-2 3-6 7-5 5-7 7-5 victory.

The Austrian will go 今後 to Sunday's final against Rafael Nadal while Djokovic will 長,率いる to the grasscourt season with his hopes of 持つ/拘留するing all four Grand 激突する 肩書を与えるs 同時に, for the second time in his career, over.

Djokovic's usually 臨床の game was thrown out of kilter by the 条件s and the match 含むd some bizarre points with the ball making wicked deviations in flight as the 残余s of 嵐/襲撃する Miguel made mischief.

"One of the worst 条件s I have ever been part of," the disgruntled, 32-year-old Djokovic told reporters minutes after his 26-match winning run in Grand 激突する play was ended.

"I mean, 明白に when you're playing in ハリケーン 肉親,親類d of 条件s, it's hard to 成し遂げる your best. It's really just 肉親,親類d of 生き残るing in these 肉親,親類d of 条件s.

"I don't want to point out some 推論する/理由s or find excuses for this loss. I mean, he took it, he won it, 井戸/弁護士席 done to him."

It had been smooth sailing for Djokovic who had not dropped a 始める,決める on 大勝する to his ninth French Open 半分-final but Thiem, and the 天候, の近くにd in to 否定する him a 25th 外見 in a Grand 激突する final.

Asked whether there should be a "勝利,勝つd 限界" for professional tennis matches, Djokovic said: "There is no 支配するs. What I was explained yesterday on the 法廷,裁判所 in the first 始める,決める, when I asked the 監督者, he said as long as there are no 飛行機で行くing 反対するs coming on 法廷,裁判所, we're good.

"I didn't know that an umbrella is not a 飛行機で行くing 反対する, which flew in the first game of the match. But that's their 決定/判定勝ち(する). I guess they know tennis better."

There was 混乱 still about why the match was not 結論するd on Friday as there was a three-hour (一定の)期間 of 乾燥した,日照りの and breezy 天候 after the 決定/判定勝ち(する) was made to call off play.

Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer had 完全にするd their 半分-final in 類似して tricky 条件s.
