Novak Djokovic [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/novak-djokovic/] defended his Australian Open title on Sunday against Dominic Thiem [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dominic-thiem/] in five sets. He now has an unprecedented 8 Australian Open [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Open] titles to his name and a total of 17 Grand Slams. The Serbian took home the title having beaten Thiem 6-4, 4-6, 2-6, 6-3, 6-4 in four hours. Trailing 1-2 in sets, Djokovic came back to win the title. This is the first time he has managed to overcome a 1-2 set deficit in a Slam final. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Screenshot-170.jpg] With his first Major title of the new decade, Djokovic now becomes the only man to win a Grand Slam in three different decades. A certain Rafael Nadal [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/rafael-nadal/] might have something to say about that come this May in Paris. NOVAK DJOKOVIC TOASTS WITHOUT ALCOHOL Novak Djokovic was a satisfied and content man after the intense final on Sunday. The Serbian was in a fine mood, as he should be, but did not go overboard with his joy. One of the fittest athletes on the planet, Novak has a strict diet. Alcohol is a huge no-no for the Serbian, even when everyone around him was toasting his victory with champagne. He did participate in the toast, only with his energy drink bottle. A journalist was curious to know if Djokovic ever drank any alcohol and what was in the bottle he toasted with. “Yeah, exactly. I mean it’s not wine. I thought you were probably thinking it is red wine. It’s not. It’s a hydration drink that I usually drink, anti-oxidant drink.” He then confirmed he does not drink alcohol at all before adding a light comment about his brother. “No, I will not drink alcohol. I don’t drink it in general. I don’t enjoy it. My brother will probably.” As always, the Serbian champion was firm and stuck to his principles. No doubt the coming weeks of tennis were already in the back of his mind. The 17 time Grand Slam champion is one of the most dedicated athletes in the world. He follows a strict regiment when it comes to caring for his body and keeping himself in peak physical condition during the tennis season, especially for the four Majors. As a Novak fan, I am glad he doesn’t indulge in alcohol. He will have all the time in the world to do these things once he retires. Until then, his fans are more than happy to toast champagne in his stead. 

Novak Djokovic was in a good mood after his Australian Open final vioctory over
Dominic Thiem. But he did not drink champagne even to toast his victory.

<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

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 
<h2 style="text-align: center">Dominic Thiemâ€™s careerÂ </h2>
Dominic Thiem turned professional in 2011, after spending three years at the ITF Junior Circuit. He reached the highest ranking of number 2 in January 2011 and finished his junior career with a 115-33 record in singles and 49-32 in doubles.

It took Thiem three years to make it to his maiden ATP final, against the 2014 Austrian Open, at the age of 20. In the final, he lost to David Goffin. After a slow start to his career, Dominic raised the level and won three ATP titles in 2015. His rise continued as he made it to his maiden Grand Slam semifinal in 2015 at the French Open. His consistency was also rewarded as he entered the top 10 ATP rankings for the first time. He ended the year in the 8th position. In 2017, the results got better, as he once again made it to the semifinals of the French Open and made it to the fourth round of all the other three majors. The next two years witnessed Thiem raising the bar, especially on clay, as he pushed <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/rafael-nadal/">Rafael Nadal</a> in the final of the French Open, both in 2018 and 2019, but finished as the runner-up.

2020 was the best season for Dominic Thiem as a tennis player. The season was curtailed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the Austrian tennis player registered 25 wins, compared to only nine losses. This also included his maiden Grand Slam title at the US Open in New York, in the final against <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/alexander-zverev/">Alexander Zverev</a>. He also reached the finals of the Australian Open, losing to eventual champion Novak Djokovic. He reached the quarterfinals of the French Open and finished the season strong, as he made it to the final of the ATP Finals against <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/daniil-medvedev/">Daniil Medvedev</a>. During the season, he earned $6 million in prize money and also reached his career-best ranking of number 3, displacing <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/roger-federer/">Roger Federer</a>.

In 2021, Dominic Thiem reached the fourth round of the Australian Open but opted out of the Monte Carlo Masters, seeking a break. He struggled right through the clay season, exiting in the first round of the French Open. He then pulled out of Wimbledon owing to the wrist injury, and the same reason led him out of defending his US Open title in New York to recover completely from the injury.

Thiem made his comeback from a career-threatening wrist injury in March 2022 at the ATP Challenger in Marbella, Spain. After losing the first seven matches, he decided to opt out of the grass court season to work on his fitness. He later won matches in Salzburg and the Bastad Open and also made it to the semi-finals in Antwerp.

In 2024, Thiem participated at the Brisbane International, where he faced Spaniard Rafael Nadal and was beaten in straight sets. His Australian Open campaign was also cut short by Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime, who defeated him in Round 1 in a match that lasted for five hours and stretched to five sets. Thiem later turned out for Austria in the World Group-1 playoffs in the Davis Cup. He then participated in the UTS Tour in Oslo but had to withdraw later due to food poisoning.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Dominic Thiemâ€™s partnerships and endorsements</h2>
The energetic Austrian is the first choice for leading brands and signed major partnerships off the tennis court. He enjoys signed contracts with Adidas, Babolat, Bank Austria, Rolex, Red Bull, Duravit, Technogym and Sky Sport.

Thiem isnâ€™t much into automobiles but has some of the finest luxury wheels like the Ford and Range Rover. He also owns a house back home in Lichtenworth and is worth $1 million.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Dominic Thiemâ€™s career stats</h2>
The Austrian tennis star, who turned pro in 2011, has participated in 555 matches so far in his career. This includes the ATP Tour, Grand Slams, and Davis Cup matches. Dominic Thiem has emerged victorious in 347 of them and lost 208 matches. This gives him a win percentage of 62.5 percent on the ATP tour, which displays his consistency levels, especially between 2016 and 2020.Â 
<h2 style="text-align: center">Dominic Thiemâ€™s records</h2>
Over 13 years, Dominic Thiem has gotten the better of top players like Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, and others on several occasions. Especially on clay, he has been a consistent force to be reckoned with, but he has improved his play on hard courts as well.
