‘Really Important for My Process’ – Dominic Thiem Provides Update on His Road to Recovery

It was the year 2020. Dominic Thiem had entered his fourth Grand Slam final and his maiden final appearance at the US Open. On the previous three occasions, the Austrian had finished second-best, losing all the three finals. However, in a thrilling summit clash against Alexander Zverev at the US Open, Thiem clinched the title, defeating the German in five sets.

But things haven’t gone his way since his maiden Grand Slam title victory. Thiem has suffered from injuries and an inconsistent run of form across the tournaments. Additionally, he missed the latter half of the 2021 season and the start of this season owing to a wrist injury. At the French Open this year, he lost in the opening round against Hugo Dellien. Recently, he talked about his road to recovery for the upcoming grass-court season.
