What has been said?
Thiem: “I face a great, great opponent. He’s also more than capable of winning that final.
“If it’s not going to happen on Sunday, well, I have to continue working and maybe get the chance at another Slam.
“Well, the chance is now on Sunday. I’ll try everything to make it.”
Zverev: “I was looking at the scoreboard when I was down two sets to love.
“I was like, ‘I can’t believe it, I’m playing in a semi-final where I’m supposed to be the favourite and I’m down two sets to love and I’ve got no chance, I’m playing so bad’.
“I knew that I had to come up with better tennis and I knew I had to be more stable. I’m through to my first grand slam final and that’s all that matters.
“Sunday is going to be extremely difficult. But I’m looking forward to it.
“I’m in the final of a grand slam. The two best players in the world are going to be playing on court.”
