"He's a player I really don't like to play because he has a game style that doesn't suit mine at all", Thiem about Djokovic
Thiem says he also felt "tired", "empty" and "wasn't mentally at the level" needed for fighting Djokovic.

Thiem: "[Djokovic is a] Different type of player [from Nadal]. He didn't give me any time. He has a game style which doesn't fit me at all."
Q. Yesterday you literally hit Nadal off the courts. Today unfortunately the accuracy was missing from your ground-stroking for you to be able to effectively employ the same tactics against Djokovic. Can you talk about how frustrating that is?
DOMINIC THIEM: Well, it's not really frustrating. There are some reasons why this happened today. I mean, first of all, they are different type of players.
Against Novak, it's really tough for me to play, I mean, because he doesn't give me any time. I don't really like to play against him, because he has a game style which doesn't fit me at all.
Yeah, then, also it was the first time for me to play on such a high level for three weeks or more, and today I paid a little bit the price for that.
