Fifth set:
Novak Djokovic 6-4 4-6 2-6 6-3 *5-4 Dominic Thiem: Thiem has done all he can here. With thanks to a couple of misfiring Djokovic backhands, the Austrian moves through a quick hold to 15 and he will force Djokovic to handle the pressure and serve out his 8th Australian Open title. You never know. 12.39pm GMT
Fifth set: Novak Djokovic 6-4 4-6 2-6 6-3 5-3* Dominic Thiem: Djokovic’s service game opened with the most extraordinary long point, with Thiem finally being dragged into the net and doing just enough to elicit a forehand error from Djokovic’s passing shot. At 15-15, Thiem then crunched an excellent down the line forehand return, forcing a backhand error from Djokovic and opening the door.
Djokovic responded with a quick serve and forehand winner combo from 15-30, then he slid in an excellent wide serve for an easy service winner. With a second service winner in a row, he held and pumped a fist to his team. One game away.
