At the French Open, Thiem did not drop a set in getting past Bernard Tomic, Simone Bolelli, Steve Johnson, Horacio Zeballos and defending champion Novak Djokovic,[81] before losing to eventual champion Rafael Nadal in straight sets.[82] His win over Djokovic meant that he had now beaten each of the Big Four (Djokovic, Nadal, Federer and Murray) at least once.

At the beginning of the grass court season, Thiem reached the second round of the Halle Open, losing to Robin Haase.[83] Then, in the second round of the Antalya Open, he was stunned by qualifier Ramkumar Ramanathan, then ranked 222 in the world.[84] He made a comeback in Wimbledon, reaching the fourth round for the first time in his career.

In the third set del Potro's form greatly increased and Thiem eventually lost in five sets, after failing to capitalise on two match points in the fourth set.[89] For the second consecutive year Thiem qualified for the ATP Finals. Thiem again struggled with form following the US Open. After losing three straight matches in Chengdu, Tokyo and Shanghai against Guido Pella, Steve Johnson and Viktor Troicki respectively,[90][91][92] he lost his second match in both Vienna and Paris to Richard Gasquet and Fernando Verdasco successively.[93] Despite this poor run of form, prior to the ATP Finals Thiem broke into the top five in the rankings for the first time in his career, rising to world No. 4. During the round robin stage ATP Finals, Thiem defeated Pablo Carreño Busta in three sets, but lost to David Goffin and Grigor Dimitrov. He did not advance to the semifinals.[94]

2018: First major final

In late December 2017, coach Galo Blanco was added to Thiem's team.[95] Thiem began his season at the Qatar ExxonMobil Open as the top seed. He reached the semifinals where he withdrew from his match against Gaël Monfils due to illness.[96] At the Australian Open, Dominic beat Guido Pella and Denis Kudla from two sets down. He won his third-round match over Adrian Mannarino,[97] but lost in the fourth against Tennys Sandgren. This was equal to his result of the previous year at the Australian Open.[98] Thiem's next tournament in mid-February 2018 saw him win his ninth ATP Tour title at the Argentina Open, his second in Buenos Aires, defeating Horacio Zeballos, Pella, Monfils, and Aljaž Bedene. This was his first title in nearly a year.[99] In Indian Wells, he won his second round match against Stefanos Tsitsipas.[100] In his third-round match against Pablo Cuevas, he rolled his ankle in winning the first set. He then lost the second set and retired in the third. He skipped Miami because of the hairline-fracture-ankle injury.[101]

Going into the clay season, Thiem played his first tournament in Monte Carlo, defeating Andrey Rublev and Novak Djokovic, before losing to Rafael Nadal in the quarterfinals.[102] In Barcelona, he again advanced to the quarterfinals, before falling in straight sets to Stefanos Tsitsipas, who then lost to Nadal in the final.[103] Thiem's next tournament was in Madrid, where he would again face Nadal in the quarterfinals. This time, he came through to win, ending Nadal's 21-match and record 50-set winning streak on clay.[104] Thiem had been the last man to take a set and win against Nadal on clay the previous year in Rome.

Thiem lost to Stefanos Tsitsipas in his first match at the Canadian Open,[113] and was forced to withdraw from Cincinnati due to illness.[114] His run of misfortune ended at the US Open, where he defeated Mirza Bašić, Steve Johnson, and Taylor Fritz to reach the fourth round for the third consecutive year. There, he faced 2017 finalist and fifth seed Kevin Anderson, defeating him in straight sets to reach his first Grand Slam quarterfinal on hard court, where he faced defending champion and top seed Nadal.[115] This was their first ever meeting on a surface other than clay. In a shocking start to the match, Thiem won the first set, yielding only seven points to Nadal. This was the first set Thiem had ever won against Nadal at a Grand Slam tournament. Nadal took control and won the second and third sets despite Thiem serving for the third set. In the fourth set, Thiem was again up a break early, lost his lead, but won the set in a tiebreaker. In the fifth set Nadal won the tiebreaker to bring the match to an end at 2:04 AM local time, after 4 hours and 49 minutes of play.[116][117] Later that month, Thiem followed up his US Open run with a title win at the St Petersburg Open.

2020: Australian Open finalist, top 3 ranking

Thiem began his 2020 season at the inaugural ATP Cup, where Austria was defeated in the group stage. He played three matches, defeating Diego Schwartzman but losing to Borna Ćorić and Hubert Hurkacz.[150][151] Seeded fifth at the Australian Open, Thiem defeated Adrian Mannarino in straight sets, wildcard Alex Bolt in five sets, and 29th seed Taylor Fritz in four sets. He then defeated tenth seed Gaël Monfils to reach his first quarterfinal at the tournament. There, he faced top seed and 2019 finalist Rafael Nadal in just their second match on hard court. He defeated Nadal in four sets, winning three tiebreaks, proceeding to the semifinals.[152] He then defeated seventh seed Alexander Zverev in four sets to make his first Grand Slam final on a hard court.[153] In the final, Thiem lost to defending champion Novak Djokovic in five sets.[154]

On 2 March Thiem rose to a new career high ranking of world No. 3, passing Roger Federer in the ATP rankings.[155] Thiem was one of many players to arrive early at Indian Wells to defend his 2019 title, where he also planned to play doubles with Grigor Dimitrov.[156][157] However due the coronavirus pandemic the 2020 Indian Wells Masters was postponed.[158] Shortly afterward the ATP Tour was suspended for six weeks which was extended through to 13 July 2020.[159]

In June, Thiem won the first leg of the Adria Tour exhibition event in Belgrade. His first opponent retired from the match, then he beat Dušan Lajović and Grigor Dimitrov in group stage to reach the final where he beat Filip Krajinović.[160]

Playing style

Thiem is primarily an aggressive baseline player, who is adept at defending, as well. His groundstrokes are solid on both wings, with a heavy forehand and a tenacious, powerful single-handed backhand. He is one of the few younger ATP players to use a single-handed backhand.[161] According to Thiem, he changed to his single-handed backhand at the advice of his coach.[162] His backhand can effectively handle high bouncing balls, which has been a big problem for many conventional single-handers. Thiem often uses heavy, penetrating groundstrokes to construct points and outlast his opponents.[163] He has a long take-back on both wings, and the top-spin he produces on his groundstrokes allows him to both attack and defend well. Thiem also possesses a strong serve, capable of reaching 145 mph (233 km/h).[164]

His deliberate, yet aggressive playing style, particularly the long take-back on his groundstrokes, ability to sustain long baseline rallies and top-spin serves have greatly benefited his clay game, where he has had the most success (winning ten of his 16 ATP titles on that surface). The Roland Garros website described him as an "heir to the throne."[161] He has beaten many high-ranked clay-court players on clay, recording four wins over Rafael Nadal on the surface. He defeated Nicolás Almagro and Nadal en route to his Argentina Open title, as well as Stan Wawrinka at the 2014 Madrid Open, Roger Federer at the 2016 Italian Open, and Novak Djokovic in the semifinals of the 2019 French Open.[136] His mental game has also been praised, especially his tie-break win percentage.[46][54]

Personal life

Thiem began dating fellow tennis player Kristina Mladenovic in 2017. They publicly confirmed their relationship in May 2018 but split in November 2019.[165][166]

Thiem is a big fan of football and is a Chelsea supporter.[167] He founded his own football club called 1.TFC Matzendorf in 2016, which consists of friends and fellow tennis players who come together a few times a year to play charity games together.[167][168][169]
