Zitat des Tages von Dominic Thiem:
The Olympics are very important only if you gain a medal, and that's a very difficult achievement.
It was a big pleasure to play a Grand Slam match on my birthday.
You always have to continue working, because everybody is. Once you stop, the others will overtake you.
On grass, many players can be dangerous because one break can decide a whole set.
I don't mind to speak about myself until a certain point, but I think there's also stuff which is for myself that nobody has to know.
Movement is one of the most important things. My consistency, everything - there's a lot to improve. Coaches are never happy. But I'd like to keep improving, go deeper in the tournaments, and get as high in the rankings as possible.
I was never the person who came up with a boom somehow. I worked slowly and consistently, making my way up the rankings, so there wasn't one special moment.
I like to play tiebreaks, as that is when it gets interesting. Even when I was young, I enjoyed these kind of matches.
My strokes are safer when I hit full power. They are unsafe when I hold back; it's more that I force myself to go full power all the time.
I'm a player, or I'm a person who needs to practice a lot; otherwise, I don't play well.
When you win in straight sets, where is the challenge?
The one-handed backhand helps you to be more aggressive in the points.
I think you have to improve every day a little bit so you don't have one day where there's a big thing coming.
My family are tennis coaches, and they always brought me to the tennis club. I basically had no other option than to start playing tennis.
I'm not a big fan of the Olympic Games. The ATP calendar is a bit complex due to the Olympic event.
The speed you have, you can't practice it. You have to be fast from your birth on. There are other things you can practice, like flexibility or the little steps needed to stand good to the ball, but to be fast is a gift you get.
