Sad goodbye for champ who was once biggest threat to ‘Big 3’ after cruel battle he could win
Dominic Thiem admits he will miss the “high” of winning after his Grand Slam career came to an end at the US Open on the same Arthur Ashe court where he won his only major in 2020.
“I think that the thing I will miss the most is the feeling after winning a great match, it’s not really comparable to anything else,” said Thiem. When Thiem captured his first Slam by defeating Alexander Zverev from two sets down in the 2020 US Open final, it appeared that he was finally poised to challenge the likes of Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal at the highest level.
“I just want to say thanks for all the support. It’s been 10 years since I first played here, I had my greatest success on this court,” said Thiem whose 2020 triumph was witnessed by just a handful of people with the tournament played out at the height of the Covid pandemic.
