Some shocking and grisly news came out of Vienna recently. There was a terrorist attack that took place in the capital of Austria, killing five people and wounding 15 as of now. It was stunning as the shooting began at about 8 pm GMT near Vienna’s main synagogue just after the Vienna Open 2020 concluded. Nicolas Massu, the coach of World No. 3 Dominic Thiem, was at a place very close to the attack. He got stuck there and described the incident as a very big scare.
Hola gente estoy en el Centro de Viena muy cerca del ataque y nos tienen adentro de un Restaurant esperando hasta ver cuando podemos irnos de aqui …gracias por sus mensajes 🙏

“Hello people, I am in the Center of Vienna very close to the attack and they have us inside a Restaurant waiting until we see when we can leave here … thanks for your message,” informed Massu via his tweet.
It was surely one of the most difficult times for the former Chilean player. He sounded anxious and worried in his tweet. However, he informed everyone that he was fine and thanked them for their good wishes.
“A very big scare”- Coach of Dominic Thiem on the terror attacks
The news surely would have created tremors in the minds of anyone. The coach also described how the authorities locked them up in a restaurant as a part of the precautionary measures.
Hola a Todos…Ya estoy en el Hotel Tranquilo y Bien después de un susto muy grande, estuvimos 8 hrs encerrados por precaución en el Restaurante. Nuevamente Muchas Gracias por sus mensajes de preocupación. 👍🏻🙏

On the other hand, Massu has a lot of work to do with Thiem on the court. The Austrian failed to defend his title at his home this time after getting eliminated by Diego Schwartzman in the quarters of the French Open 2020 some weeks back. After winning the US Open 2020, Thiem has not looked to be in great touch. He and Massu would definitely work on his gameplay so that the Austrian would be able to perform consistently well in the big matches.
