Tennis, farewell could be painful at only 30. Rumors coming in are not good for his future. Here’s what could happen in the coming months
The anticipation comes from Austria, and it is not good news for the tennis world. Indeed, journalist Christian Mortsch has given news that fans of the sport never wanted to read. Because we are talking about an athlete who only in 2020 won the Us Open and who could end his career early.
Dominic Thiem could retire at the end of this season. According to the Austrian media, the player, who has repeatedly attempted a high-level comeback after a very long series of injuries, is reportedly seriously considering quitting tennis. In America, Thiem, had managed to win a resounding, very long final against Germany’s Alexander Zverev. And, confirming this hypothesis, Thiem reportedly started talking about this decision even with his sponsors who, as we know, are crucial in the life of an athlete.
Thiem is retiring, here is the indiscretion
But when could this happen? Also according to the source cited earlier, Thiem is reportedly planning to end his career after the Vienna 500 tournament, scheduled for Oct. 21-27.
Thiem, as mentioned, won the U.S. Open in 2020 and was also previously a finalist at the 2020 Australian Open beaten by Novak Djokovic and at Roland Garros twice in 2018 and 2019 defeated both times by Rafael Nadal. The Austrian reached third place in the Atp rankings: best ranking achieved on March 2, 2020. So a top-level athlete, very important in the history of the sport who due to some major injuries might decide to end his career early. It would be a shame to quit so soon, but at this level if you are not physically well it is useless to go on. It only increases the pain of not being able to perform as one would like and that’s it. Let’s hope not, but such an indiscretion usually goes down well.
