At 30 years old, Dominic Thiem a three time Grand Slam finalist and the 2020 US Open champion has faced challenges since his career best ranking of World No. 3 in March 2020. Injuries disrupted his momentum leading to struggles with form and confidence upon his return.
Despite working hard and re-entering the Top 100 from outside the Top 300, Thiem acknowledges the competitive landscape with rising stars like Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. He candidly expressed that 2024 might be his last chance to make a significant impact.
Thiem emphasizes the importance of elevating his ranking this year and if he remains barely inside the Top 100, he will evaluate the worthiness of continuing. Prize money isn’t his primary motivation, he simply aims to play tennis at his best.
Thiem’s 2020 trajectory hinted at multiple Grand Slam victories but he faces the challenge of rediscovering that level after setbacks. The hope is for Thiem to regain his form and prolong his career on the ATP Tour.
