Austrian star Dominic Thiem [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dominic-thiem/] has enjoyed a lot of success during his career, and his biggest win came this year at the US Open. This was the Austrian’s first-ever Grand Slam title after having failed to win one in his previous three finals. Dominic was obviously delighted about this victory, and his family was equally happy for him. In a recent interview, his grandfather Josef Mullner said that he was ‘proud as many grandpas’ after the Austrian finally succeeded. The US Open win was a big achievement for Thiem, but he also has other goals he wants to fulfill. One of those is the World No. 1 ranking. He is currently at No. 3 and his grandfather is confident that he will get there as he said [https://www.heute.at/s/opa-thiem-verraet-aergsten-moment-mit-dominic-100109287], “Number 1 will come.” Dominic Thiem fist pump [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2020-10-27T192022Z_1821005780_UP1EGAR1HPY0B_RTRMADP_3_TENNIS-VIENNA.jpg]Tennis – ATP 500 – Erste Bank Open – Wiener Stadthalle, Vienna, Austria – October 27, 2020 Austria’s Dominic Thiem celebrates after winning his first-round match against Ukraine’s Vitaliy Sachko REUTERS/Lisi Niesner DOMINIC THIEM RETURNS After losing in the French Open quarterfinals, Dominic Thiem returned to tennis at the Vienna Open. He played his first match against Vitaliy Sachko, and many were expecting him to win it easily. However, that was not the case. The Austrian had to work very hard throughout the match. But, in the end, he came through 6-4, 7-5. Since Vienna is his home, Dominic will definitely want to win the title. However, he cannot earn any points there as he is the defending champion. To go up in the rankings, the events he will be looking out for are – the Paris Masters and the ATP Finals. If he manages to win both titles, the Austrian will earn 1610 points. This would put him ahead of Rafael Nadal [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dominic-thiem/] and make him the new World No. 2. He definitely wants to achieve this and his grandfather is surely hoping that he will.

<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.

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.

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.

Rafael Nadal vs. Novak Djokovic: Head-to-Head after 2021 One of the most intense rivalries on the ATP tour, Nadal and Djokovic, always ensure to put their best foot forward while playing against each other, irrespective of the venue. The duo met a couple of times in 2021, with Nadal winning their match-up in Rome Finals while Djokovic won the most important French Open semi-final contest and later went on to win the title. Nadal exacted revenge in the 2022 version, as he ousted his archrival in the quarterfinals of the French Open. 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. The Spaniard&#8217;s first French Open crown came in 2005 when he surprised top-seed Federer in the semis. By winning the title, Nadal became the second male player after Mats Wilander to win the French Open on the first attempt. Rafael Nadalâ€™s injuries and retirement Although Rafa is a force to be reckoned with, his career has been riddled with injuries ever since he first turned pro. 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.
