Spain’s Rafael Nadal has been one of the most dominant players when it comes to bossing around a particular surface. The former World No. 1 player is by far the most superior player to compete on clay. To win 13 French Open titles is not something that is possible regularly. Lately, Rafael Nadal [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/rafael-nadal] has not been playing tennis due to a foot injury. Due to that, he has been on the sidelines and missed many tournaments. As he had many points to defend, he has lost those points in the current season due to not being able to compete in those events. Another player who has faced a similar fate as Rafa is Dominic Thiem [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dominic-thiem/] who has been out due to a wrist injury. Read more: BREAKING!

One such player is Andrey Rublev [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/andrey-rublev/]. He has become World No. 5 and spoke on this recent development. The Russian player stated [https://tennishead.net/my-place-as-world-number-five-i-am-a-little-lucky-admits-andrey-rublev/], “My place as world number 5? I’m a little lucky. It’s true that I had a good season, surely my best. “But I took advantage of the fact that Rafael Nadal doesn’t play a lot of tournaments. Dominic Thiem was also injured. Both have lost a lot of points in the standings. I passed them but I was a bit lucky.” Andrey Rublev [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-08-12T190509Z_1817800281_MT1USATODAY16554291_RTRMADP_3_TENNIS-NATIONAL-BANK-OPEN.jpg]Aug 12, 2021; Toronto, Ontario, Canada; Andrey Rublev of Russia returns a ball to John Isner of the United States (not pictured) at Aviva Centre.

However, he does admit that it would not have been possible had Rafa and Dominic been active on the circuit. At the moment, he is busy competing in the Indian Wells Masters. He won his opening round match against Carlos Taberner in straight sets. He is expected to play the next match against America’s Tommy Paul. We wish him the best of luck for the upcoming matches.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Dominic Thiem: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, and more</h2>
A first look at Dominic Thiem he gives the impression of a supermodel, and not a tennis player. However, amidst the domination displayed by the Big 3, Dominic Thiem has been able to carve a niche for himself, by winning not only major tournaments, but also the 2020 US Open, to go with back-to-back finalists at the French Open in 2018 and 2019. He has a net worth of $14 million and has amassed $30 million and more through tournament earnings.Â 

[caption id="attachment_640013" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-640013 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-05-06T110248Z_487981357_UP1EH560UXOGE_RTRMADP_3_TENNIS-MADRID.jpg" alt="Dominic Thiem" width="1920" height="1202" /> Tennis - ATP Masters 1000 - Madrid Open - Caja Magica, Madrid, Spain - May 6, 2021 Austria's Dominic Thiem celebrates winning his third round match against Australia's Alex de Minaur REUTERS/Juan Medina[/caption]

Thiem also has some big brands under his belt, namely Adidas, Babolat, Red Bull, Kia, Sky Sport, and Rolex. In 2020, he added Duravit, a bathroom manufacturer, and also partnered with Neoh, a low carbohydrate protein bar startup. In an exclusive conversation with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DAEyKTbsmM">Essentially Sports</a>, Dominic Thiem also spilled out some cheeky secrets.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Who is Dominic Thiem?Â </h2>
Born on September 3, 1993, Dominic Thiem is a professional tennis player who was born in Wiener Neustadt but resides in Lichtenworth, Austria. He is currently ranked 90th in the menâ€™s ATP rankings but has been ranked as high as world number 3 in March 2020. His biggest triumph came at the 2020 US Open, where he defeated Alexander Zverev in the final. With the win, Thiem became the first male player born in the 1990s to win a tennis major and also the first Austrian to win the US Open slam. Overall, he has won 17 ATP singles titles and finished as runner-up three times (one at the Australian Open and two at the French Open), to go with losing two year-end ATP Finals. Thiem has been dating Lili Paul-Ronacli, a professional dancer and performer who hails from Germany. The couple started dating in 2019, and since then they have been together.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Dominic Thiemâ€™s early lifeÂ </h2>
Dominic Thiem took to tennis like fish to water, as both his parents - Wolfgang and Karin Thiem were tennis coaches themselves. The former world number 3 also has a younger brother, Moritz Thiem, who is also a professional tennis player. Dominic began playing tennis when he was six years old, and his father took a job at the Grunter Bresnikâ€™s academy in Vienna in 1997. Bresnik began coaching Thiem at the age of nine and had previously worked with Boris Becker, Henri Leconte, Patrick McEnroe, and Ernest Gulbis. He is well-known for his unconventional techniques and recommended that Dominic convert his two-handed backhand into a single hand. Dominic parted ways with Bresnik in 2019, and since then has changed three coaches. He is currently coached by former Croation tennis player, Mate Delic. Thiem can speak three languages: German, French, and English.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Dominic Thiemâ€™s girlfriend</h2>
Dominic Thiem is currently dating Lili Paul-Roncali, an exquisite artist and performer from Germany. The couple has been together for the last five years but only made their relationship public in January 2021. She is also the winner of a German reality dance show named â€˜Letâ€™s Danceâ€™ in 2020 and has also written a couple of books. Before Lili, Dominic was in a relationship with Kristina Mladenovic, a professional tennis player from Dunkirk, France. Their relationship lasted for two years, and they both called it a split in 2019 and never opened up about the reason behind the split.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Dominic Thiemâ€™s net worth 2024</h2>
A regular feature on the ATP circuit over the last decade or so, Dominic Thiem has an estimated net worth of $14 million. A major part of his salary and earnings come from the tournamentâ€™s prize money. As of March 2024, Thiem has collected $30,144,482 as prize money, which also takes him to the 12th spot when it comes to all-time earnings in the menâ€™s category, a loss headed by Serbiaâ€™s Novak Djokovic.Â

Dominic Thiem: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, and more A first look at Dominic Thiem he gives the impression of a supermodel, and not a tennis player. However, amidst the domination displayed by the Big 3, Dominic Thiem has been able to carve a niche for himself, by winning not only major tournaments, but also the 2020 US Open, to go with back-to-back finalists at the French Open in 2018 and 2019.

In 2020, he added Duravit, a bathroom manufacturer, and also partnered with Neoh, a low carbohydrate protein bar startup. In an exclusive conversation with Essentially Sports, Dominic Thiem also spilled out some cheeky secrets. Who is Dominic Thiem?Â  Born on September 3, 1993, Dominic Thiem is a professional tennis player who was born in Wiener Neustadt but resides in Lichtenworth, Austria. He is currently ranked 90th in the menâ€™s ATP rankings but has been ranked as high as world number 3 in March 2020. His biggest triumph came at the 2020 US Open, where he defeated Alexander Zverev in the final. With the win, Thiem became the first male player born in the 1990s to win a tennis major and also the first Austrian to win the US Open slam. Overall, he has won 17 ATP singles titles and finished as runner-up three times (one at the Australian Open and two at the French Open), to go with losing two year-end ATP Finals. Thiem has been dating Lili Paul-Ronacli, a professional dancer and performer who hails from Germany. The couple started dating in 2019, and since then they have been together.

The former world number 3 also has a younger brother, Moritz Thiem, who is also a professional tennis player. Dominic began playing tennis when he was six years old, and his father took a job at the Grunter Bresnikâ€™s academy in Vienna in 1997. Bresnik began coaching Thiem at the age of nine and had previously worked with Boris Becker, Henri Leconte, Patrick McEnroe, and Ernest Gulbis. He is well-known for his unconventional techniques and recommended that Dominic convert his two-handed backhand into a single hand. Dominic parted ways with Bresnik in 2019, and since then has changed three coaches. He is currently coached by former Croation tennis player, Mate Delic. Thiem can speak three languages: German, French, and English. Dominic Thiemâ€™s girlfriend Dominic Thiem is currently dating Lili Paul-Roncali, an exquisite artist and performer from Germany.

Rafael Nadal

Rafael Nadal: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, wife and more Who is Rafael Nadal?Â  Rafael Nadal is undoubtedly one of the best tennis players of all time. The Spaniard, along withÂ Novak DjokovicÂ andÂ Roger Federer,Â forms the famed triumvirate of the &#8216;Big Three&#8217; in tennis. Another accolade that Rafa has to his name is the title, &#8220;King of Clay&#8221;. Rafael Nadal&#8217;s family includes his parents Sebastian Nadal and Maria Parera, his sister Maria Isabel, and his uncles Toni Nadal and Miguel Angel Nadal Homar. Rafael Nadalâ€™s Early LifeÂ  Rafael Nadal Parera was born on June 3, 1986, to parents Ana Maria Parera Femenias and Sebastian Nadal Homar in Manacor, Mallorca, Spain. His father is a successful businessman who owns the restaurant Sa Punta, the glass and window company, Vidres Mallorca, and three insurance companies. Mara Parera was a trader who was in the business of selling perfumes. However, she left her job and became a homemaker soon after Nadal was born. The 22-time Grand Slam champion has a younger sister, MarÃ­a Isabel Nadal. Tennis &#8211; Wimbledon &#8211; All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, London, Britain &#8211; July 2, 2022 Spain&#8217;s Rafael Nadal reacts during his third round match against Italy&#8217;s Lorenzo Sonego REUTERS/Matthew Childs When Nadal was three years old, his uncle and tennis coach, Toni Nadal, introduced him to the sport and worked with him from 2005 to 2017. Toni saw in his nephew a natural talent and believed that Rafa should put effort into the racket sport. At the age of 8, Nadal was playing both soccer and tennis. In the racket sport, he transitioned to a left-handed forehand when encouraged by his uncle, despite being right-hand dominant. Toni Nadal also intensified his nephew&#8217;s training at this age. At 12, he was still playing tennis and soccer. In tennis, he won the European and Spanish championships. However, his schoolwork saw a significant drop due to both sports, so his father made him choose one sport. Rafa chose tennis and has pursued it ever since. Rafael Nadalâ€™s Wife and Children Rafael Nadal married his long-time girlfriend, Maria Francisca &#8220;Xisca&#8221; Perello, on October 19, 2019. The two have been in a relationship since 2005 and Xisca is an insurance worker and is also the current director of the Rafael Nadal Foundation. One can only rarely find Xisca in Rafael Nadal&#8217;s box during his matches. She is a private person and doesn&#8217;t like the world to get to know much about her. Xisca feels that her presence would disrupt the Spaniard&#8217;s focus. Rafael Nadal met his wife, Mery &#8220;Xisxa&#8221; Perell in 2005. While there is no confirmed news, some reports suggest that they met through family friends. However, details about their life together are seldom found online as they prefer to keep a low profile. Nadal and Perell announced they were going to have a child together in June 2022. When he eventually graced the world, the couple decided to name him Rafael Nadal Jr. Rafael Nadalâ€™s Net Worth 2024 (Update) As of early 2024, Rafael Nadal&#8217;s estimated net worth is $200 million. About all-time tennis prize money earned, he is ranked No. 2 after an exceptionally successful career. South Korea&#8217;s second-largest automobile manufacturer, Kia, has been sponsoring him as its global ambassador since 2006.

The Raging Bull trademark, which is featured on a variety of gear items available for public purchase in addition to custom-made clothes for Rafael Nadal, is owned by Nike. Although the Raging Bull sign is commonly regarded as Rafael Nadal&#8217;s logo, Nike is the company that owns the trademark.

Despite his modesty, Nike values their relationship with Rafael Nadal greatly and pays him around $10 million annually. In addition, Santander, Emporio Armani, Babolat, Heliocare, Telefonica, Banco Sabadell, Tommy Hilfiger, Mapfre, and upscale wristwatch Richard Mille are among Nadal&#8217;s sponsors. According to the most recent estimations, Rafael Nadal&#8217;s net worth is roughly $220 million, with the majority of his income coming from prize money won on the ATP Tour.

It paved the way for the &#8216;King of Clay&#8217; to clinch his record 14th Roland Garros title. Rafael Nadalâ€™s French Open dominance Having familiarized himself with red dirt during his initial days, Nadal mastered the surface and even developed his game initially to suit the clay. The Spaniard likes to stay on the point by pushing the opponent from corner to corner and there is no better surface than clay to do that. Coming to Nadal&#8217;s French Open record, he has amassed a total of 14 titles in Paris, the highest by any player on tour.

His first injury in 2003 made him miss his first Roland Garros, his only recorded French Open absence. Some of his most serious injuries came in 2012 and 2021, which forced him to miss several Masters and even Grand Slam events. Moreover, when Nadal lost for the first time in the French Open in 2009, ending a four-year streak, a knee injury played a crucial role in it. In 2012, he suffered a tear in a tendon in his left knee, which forced him off the tour for seven months and also became a reason for him to miss the US Open and the Australian Open of the following year. In 2021, Nadal started the season with severe back pain and then experienced more injuries in the following months. He missed Wimbledon and the US Open and even many Master&#8217;s 1000 tournaments. However, he still managed to win the Italian Open.

The bad news increased when Rafa was unable to return to the Tour. He missed the entire clay season and is set to miss the rest of the 2023 season. Since he has undergone injuries almost every year in his active years, Nadal&#8217;s advancing age has made it difficult for him to recover from his latest injury. In a recent press conference, the Spaniard shocked the tennis realm by announcing that the 2024 season will probably be his last on the ATP Tour.
