The season´s final of the best eight players will take place in Turin for the first time. I can only participate as a fan for the first time since 2016. No doubt, that hurts. Though, my memories of the ATP Finals are way better. In 2016 I celebrated my debut in…
As most of you know, a few months ago I decided to make some changes to my team structure. This was all announced and we are happy with the changes we made. These changes didn’t affect my core competition team which has remained the same throughout…
I’m thrilled to be part of the new Bank Austria Campaign for the MegaCard GoGreen Teen Account! The clip is centred around a topic I’m extremely passionate about – Sustainability. We filmed at the Hohe Tauern Nationalpark in Austria. Check out the Behind the Scenes…
I hope you are all doing well! I want to update you on my injury and let you know that unfortunately, I’ve had to withdraw from the US Open and will miss the rest of the 2021 season. I’m really disappointed not to be able to defend the title in New York but I haven’t…
It’s not an easy time. I have to wear the wrist splint for another two weeks, then I will have another MRI scan to get an update. The healing in my wrist is progressing and it is definitely going better than expected. Of course, I need to be patient and let everything heal…
After being forced to retire from his opening match at the Mallorca Open on Tuesday due to an injury to his right wrist, Dominic Thiem travelled to Barcelona and underwent further medical examinations. Tests found that there is a ‘detachment of posterior sheath of the right ulnar wrist’, an…
Media day at Mallorca – now I have some time to describe my feelings playing on grass. But first let’s talk about the tournament. Mallorca is a wonderful island. It is a true paradise, I experienced it during my vacation here some weeks ago. The weather is fabulous, the food…
The beginning of a new era! Gerard Piqué, soccer-superstar at FC Barcelona, founded a new agency taking care of athletes in all aspects. My former coach Galo Blanco takes over the tennis division at “Kosmos“, I was signed as first athlete by June 16. These are the breaking news! I am really excited…
What a sad premier. Never ever have I failed at the French Open that early. I experienced many great moments at Roland Garros, the five-set defeat against Pablo Andujar really hurts. It was a terrible defeat I have to deal with. For the last couple of weeks I had trained well, the strokes…
Bonjour de Paris! Right now I’m in the shuttle on my way back from Roland Garros to my hotel. At last I have some time to take care of my blog. Since Wednesday I have been preparing in Paris for my eighth start at the French Open. The omens are definitely different this year: For the last…
3:6, 7:6, 6:0 against Marton Fucsovics! The transition from the high altitude of Madrid to the sea level of Rome was not easy, but it worked out. After my first victory here I can only be happy. Marton was a tough opponent for the first two sets, he played really well and…
It feels great to be back in my tennis world. Since Friday I have been preparing for my first match since March 16, I’ll play at the ATP-1000 on Tuesday or Wednesday. I have great memories for Madrid. In 2014 I had my first victory against a top-10-star, Stan…
2021 just doesn’t want to get going. Unfortunately I will have to cancel my start at next week’s tournament in Novak Djokovic’s hometown Belgrade. My knee hurts and I went to see a doctor. It is not a big issue but I need to take care of it. I am definitely not fit enough to play next week. I am terribly…
From Doha to Dubai! Since Saturday I have been preparing for my second tournament in the sheikhdom in the desert, the conditions are definitely slightly different: It is hotter in Dubai, the courts are faster as well. I can’t wait for my first match against the South-African…
I am back. No question, dropping out of the Australian Open left some minor scars. A jet-black day brutally ended my Grand-Slam-dream in Melbourne. I had to analyze a couple of things, after returning home I took a few days off, completely. That helped a lot! I went back to Traiskirchen…
The world is upside down! Living two weeks in quarantine in Adelaide did not include a lot of different activities. Being at the hotel, practice sessions, treatment by physical therapist Alex Stober, ordering food for dinner… However, since Friday we have been back to real life. Even more did I enjoy…
Happy New Year! This is just a short update on my way to Australia.
After a pit-stop in Barcelona a long flight is ahead of me – and there are some tennis stars on the passenger list. In addition to my team, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal are on board, and, of course…
Home again for the first time after many years. I will celebrate Christmas Eve with my family, and, in particular, I’m looking forward to seeing my little cousin Marie. We look back at an odd year, Corona caused global chaos, however, looking at it form an athlete’s point of view 2020 was an…
Finally I’m on vacation! My first Grand Slam title in New York, reaching the finals in Melbourne and at the Masters – a very successful season has come to an end. Now I am going to relax for ten days, going abroad is not possible because of the pandemic, that’s why I will spend my days at home in Austria. No…
6:4, 6:7, 4:6 against Daniil Medvedev in London. Certainly this loss hurts. After 2019 I also lost my second Masters final, I hope I will succeed next time. Daniil won the trophy without losing a match, he really deserves this title. I can still be proud of a sensational final of the ATP-season: in the group matches I…
7:6, 4:6, 6:3 in London against Stefanos Tsitsipas! In my eighth game against the Greek I won my fifth match, I achieved revenge for my loss at the Masters final of 2019. This is a perfect start into the season final, I got myself into a good position for the other group matches. At the final last year a crowd…
Nothing is quiet in fall – the last weeks have been busy. After losing in the quarterfinal at my home tournament in Vienna I recovered from my foot injury. It took me two, three days to recover, then I started my preparation for the final in London at the O2-Arena.
A little anniversary. I am in the main draw of Vienna for the tenth time, this year I am even the defending champion. I will never forget the emotions after my victory in 2019 – wonderful and unique. It was a moment of goosebumps! This trophy means a lot to me, so does Vienna…
Final at the Australian Open, the title in New York, quarterfinal at Roland Garros. My results at this year’s three Grand Slams are really a dream. However, one thing is for sure: the last weeks have been quite exhausting, that’s why I am even happier with my success in Paris.
I am back! Here is my first update from Paris. The days after my US Open victory have been intensive. Sleeping, relaxing, shutting down – that’s what was important after returning from the US. I had two small parties, I really enjoyed the time with my family after my first Grand Slam victory.
It was the shortest night of my life. As a kid I was dreaming of this Grand Slam victory, in New York my dream came true. Years of hard and strenuous work, doubts and positive emotions.
After winning the match point against Alexander Zverev the entire load came off my shoulders.
This is my second blog entry for my new homepage – and I am really happy that I can write it in New York.
First of all thank you very much! The fans really like my new “internet home“, thousands of clicks in the first couple of days, a lot of positive feedback and emails. It’s a lot of fun.
The long Corona-break did actually have some positive aspects: My new home has been built. At least virtually!
Creative access, a number of ideas and ongoing discussions – I have done a lot of work on this homepage myself, picked our brains together with my team. And now we are online. With a lot of information and up to date.
