Dominic Thiem is enthusiastic about comeback in Vienna's tennis!

Dominic Thiem, the US Open winner 2020 and one-time number 3 in the world rankings, celebrated his return to the tennis court on Saturday. He played for the old Erlaaer TC in the Vienna Tennis Landesliga and was in good shape. His first match after 235 days, in which he had to compete against Lukas Krainer from the Vienna Athletics Sports Club, ended with a clear victory for Thiem: 6: 2, 6: 1. With this success, Alt Erlaa runs 4-2 after six individual games. His brother Moritz Thiem was also able to convince in his single game and won in three sentences.

The return was not only important for Dominic Thiem, but also emotionally. After completing his career at the end of the previous year, he had taken a break and devoted himself intensively to football. The event in the Vienna Better Tennis Center Alt Erlaa was a big deal that the tennis club had worked towards for several weeks. Visitors were able to look forward to a converted VIP tent, mobile grandstands and catering offers, which also enhanced the event. Hundreds of fans came to see their tennis star in action, while Thiem took the time to be available for selfies and autographs.

preparation and euphoria

The preparations for the event also included technical adjustments in Thiem's game. While he is known as a sandplace specialist, he has changed his technology for hardcours to be more effective. These adjustments were analyzed in detail by tennis coach Marco Kühn. Among other things, his resource movement was shortened in the forehand, which means that Thiem can react faster to high rallies. His modernized surcharge also allows him more options, which gives him an advantage on fast coverings. These technical improvements require patience and self -confidence, especially in important matches.

This coming weekend Thiem could even compete against the winner of the game between the Ober St. Veiter TC and Hakoah TC in the possible final. With regard to the 20-year waiting time of Alt Erlaa for a title, this could be a significant moment for the club and for Thiem itself.

Dominic Thiem's return to the tennis circus made the hearts of many fans beat faster. They all hope that this is the beginning of a new, successful phase in his career, which could be filled with emotions and victories. In any case, his performance on the first day of the match offers a lot of reason for hope.
