Thiem, who was once ranked No. 3 in the men's singles in the world, has reached the French Open final twice, won the Australian Open runner-up in 2020, and won the first Grand Slam title in New York in the same year.
After suffering a wrist injury in 2021, Thiem's performance has plummeted in recent years, and he once fell outside the top 300 in the next year, and is currently ranked 90th in the world, and was in the main draw at the Brisbane Open and the Australian Open at the beginning of this year.
In a recent interview with the Austrian newspaper Standard, Tim said, "I think [this year] is my last chance, and if I can do it, I should be able to [get back to the same level] very quickly." ”
Thiem pointed out that in the two years since he returned from injury, he has been hovering around 100, "If I am still around 100 at the end of this year, I may have to think about whether it is worth continuing to play. ”
Thiem, who decided to part ways with coach Benjamin Ebrahimzadeh, said that he is not playing for prize money at this stage, but wants to return to the level of the game before, "I always want to get back to that feeling of playing, to be able to live up to my standards like I used to on the court." ”
