I wonder what Thiem thinks of his career now, how he sees it going from now on. Does he think he’ll get back to the top or is he just competing out of habit and love, like Murray? I’m glad he is, but I wonder how much hope he has inside…
It must be pretty tough on him mentally when we compare where he was. Some mentioned DelPo, but that guy had several comebacks from injuries and when he was injury free or could manage his health issues he usually climbed in rankings quickly and played as close to his best as he could. Thiem seems to be playing just awful every week.
Bro, give him some time.. Dominic has a great team and he knows he has the talent..The cream Always rises back to the top
Hopefully you’re right! I always liked him, he’s an honest player in terms of effort, and he was on a nice trajectory to be comparable with Murray or Wawrinka, going deep everywhere and winning big sometimes…
AP I just got home from work and I saw Kieren post to me regarding Dom, in my opinion he has to go back to the challenger circuit and try to win 'a tournament' he has run out of his PR, he gets WC into tournaments and cant t get past the 1st rd, eg AO, he was given a WC to Santiago tournament again lost in the 1st rd, his FH is just terrible to watch at present, as I posted the furthest he has go at the Golden Swing was RD 2? he has been given a WC into IW, being a past champion, it will be the 'same story' at present he is a just a former shadow of himself.He cant rely on getting WC all the time, quite frankly I question his team at present and their plans? because they are just not working. Time to get 'real' and accept the facts quite frankly.
It’s not a bad idea. It worked for Agassi, he played challengers and it helped him to realise how far he’d fallen…
Exactly, Dom was playing challengers to begin with, then started using his PR for bigger tournaments,which you can only use for 9 months, he has run out of PR, Dom needs to win a 'tournament' even the challenger circuit isnt easy these days, quite frankly I have run out of ideas, his form since he got this injury has not improved at all, he has gone backwards, sad to say.
I don' know if is pressure resulting in his 2nd serve going AWOL, though I have also seen it in his 1st serve at times, when he feels pressured
I'm surprised Taro Daniel is #125. He's a quality player and has troubled more than a few really good players.
Ruud has played better in the 2nd set wins 62., Daniel is a player than can trouble good players
