Thiem beats Djokovic with a bagel. The stats show exactly what an impressive achievement this is.

Dominic Thiem steamrolled Novak Djokovic 7-6 6-3 6-0 to book his place in the semi finals of the 2017 French Open.

That’s right, the big-hitting 23-year old Austrian bagelled the 12 time Grand Slam champion. The last time these two faced off was in the semi finals of Rome last month, where Djokovic obliterated Thiem 6-1 6-0. Now the Austrian has taken his revenge with a bagel of his own.

Djokovic is obviously not used to being bagelled. You can literally count on your fingers the number of times he has been. To put into perspective just what an impressive performance this was from Thiem, we’ve compiled a list of some incredible facts/statistics related to Djokovic being bagelled:
