Thiem could be a particularly significant test for Djokovic if they both reach the semifinals. “The best thing that could have happened for me is how good Tsitsipas’s clay-court season was,” Zverev said. Djokovic, 32 and the father of two young children with his wife, Jelena, has learned plenty about work-life balance through the years. This season, after overwhelming Nadal in the Australian Open final, he lost early in several tournaments before recovering his mojo to win in Madrid. Djokovic and Gimelstob were working closely together in an attempt to increase player influence.
