Dominic Thiem Accuses Gunter Bresnik Of Exaggerating

The dispute between Dominic Thiem and his former coach Gunter Bresnik just got uglier. After Bresnik accused Thiem and his father of disrespecting his work and being treacherous towards him, Thiem has finally put out his side of the story.

However, let’s first recall what Bresnik had said about his long time protege. Bresnik would badmouth Thiem and his father saying that without his support, Wolfgang would be a club trainer in Seebenstein. Dominic would be a futures player. Later, he opened up on why his collaboration with Dominic had ended a year ago.

Bresnik said that there were things he simply couldn’t understand. In addition, he explained that the values of honesty and loyalty weren’t much adhered to. Thiem gave a detailed statement to APA highlighting that he couldn’t leave these allegations on him untouched.

What did Dominic Thiem say? 

Thiem started out by saying that he’s deeply hurt by whatever Bresnik has alleged.

“It is unfortunate that Gunter Bresnik, for whatever reason, is carried away to make my family and me bad in public after we have successfully worked together for so many years.”

Thiem would go on to call Bresnik someone who was addicted to power. In fact, he attached more importance to himself than he actually should.

“If Bresnik misses the respect he deserves after I owe him everything and seriously means that without him my father would be a club coach in Seebenstein and I would be a future player, the question arises for me whether he is subject to a certain megalomania and that he does not lack any respect for my person and my father, “ the world number 3 said.

Thiem revealed that he was unable to make head or tail of the statements made by Bresnik.

“The reasons for this are known to Günter Bresnik, and I do not want to make them public – at least for the time being.”

Thiem concluded by saying that he has good wishes for Bresnik despite everything. It is always unpleasurable to see the sacrosanct relation of coach and pupil being broken in such an unceremonious way. However, Dominic Thiem has maintained dignity in his response.
