After months of speculation, it was finally confirmed that the US Open would take place. However, there are still uncertainties regarding the event that is taking place due to many reasons. The Austrian Dominic Thiem has just expressed his opinion on this topic.
Dominic Thiem at the US Open
While tennis fans were enthusiastic about the US Open, some players were unsure of the event. This is due to the growing COVID-19 cases in the United States and restrictions on the Grand Slam event. Dominic Thiem spoke about it in an interview in Berlin and said:
“I think the decision is not in our hands, but in those of the American Tennis Federation, the American government and the mayor of New York. The whole thing is on very shaky legs. “
Clearly, the Austrian is still not sure of this event like so many other players. However, he believes that if the event is played, nobody will have to worry about security. In the interview, he said,
“But I also believe that if you play, it will be safe for everyone. We will certainly be in a huge bubble and we will have no contact with the outside world. “

Dominic Thiem has already said that he wants to play at the US Open, which is certainly good news for all tennis fans. Many people would have expected him to attend the event as he has his eyes on one goal: to win his first Grand Slam.
The Austrian has come close to achieving this on numerous occasions. He reached 2 French Open finals and one Australian Open final. The Australian Open final was his best chance to win his first Slam, but unfortunately he lost the game in an electrifying five-seater.
The Austrian will certainly train to finally win a Slam. And hopefully, he’ll be able to do it at this year’s US Open.
