Dominic Thiem is yet to win the US Open the day after the final five-sentence thriller against Germany’s Alexander Zverev.
“Nothing has sunk yet, I haven’t been able to think about that. Everything will come as soon as I land in Austria,” Lower Austria told a Zoom news conference in New York on Monday.
Thanks to a 2: 6.4: 6.6: 4.6: 3.7: 6 (6) success, he was the first Austrian since Thomas Muster to win a Grand Slam tournament at the French Open in 1995. “After that I couldn’t sleep or sleep. one second, “reveals Thiem.
Until four in the morning he sat in the room with the coach Nicolas Massu, the physiotherapist Alex Stober and his friend Lucas Leitner. “We had something to eat, we chatted about the tournament and the whole trip in the last year and a half, which was really great,” said the ÖTV star. Even after that, he didn’t turn a blind eye before heading to the interview marathon early. “I hope I can get all my sleep back on the plane,” says Thiem.
After arriving in Vienna, the next press conference will follow on Tuesday afternoon. By then, your mood is unlikely to have changed. “It still feels absolutely sensational and of course I’m still happy and full of positive emotions and adrenaline,” says Thiem.

Thiem: “I felt my opportunity from the beginning”
He received many congratulations from all kinds of people. Called or written with family and best friends.
The day after the US Open title, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, who are further ahead of him in the world rankings, also appeared as supporters. “It’s a great honor,” Thiem emphasizes. The two and Roger Federer had dominated all four major tournaments in recent years, titles only won by Stan Wawrinka, Marin Cilic and Andy Murray since 2014. Thiem is now part of the illustrious circle too. “That makes it a great honor and it makes me happy and proud,” Thiem said.
Thanks to the 1,990 bonus points, the Austrian figure clearly stands out from the fourth Federer in the world rankings and reaches the top duo in terms of points. Only 725 points are missing in the second Nadal. “To be honest, I haven’t thought about the world rankings at all. I felt my opportunity at the US Open from the beginning, so all my thoughts were on the tournament,” Thiem explains.
This is how Thiem goes now
After his triumph at Flushing Meadows, the 27-year-old will not appear in Rome as well as in Hamburg. “The whole four weeks in the ‘bubble’ with a lot of grueling matches plus all the emotions, all the pressure and the crazy ending. From that point of view, it would be unwise to play in Hamburg,” says Thiem.
He had weighed between match practice and his arrival in Paris in full physical and mental form. “The second is clearly more important,” emphasizes the third.
After returning home, Thiem takes a few days off and wants to start training on sand for the weekend. The trip to Paris will probably take place on Wednesday of next week.
“Sand is always like coming home, I hope it works because I didn’t have much more match practice than at the US Open,” Thiem said. In any case, your anticipation is great. “I can play more easily in a Grand Slam tournament than I have in years, I am looking forward to it.”
