ATP> Wolfgang Thiem: “The school system does not allow a tennis career”

Father of Dominic Thiem, Wolfgang Thiem knows what a professional career entails from the point of view of family and school sacrifices. Asked about this, he did not deny that it is a particularly difficult task for the child as well as for the parents.

“When I meet parents whose children are at the start of their careers, I feel sorry for them. They don’t know what to expect. You just have no idea how much it costs. A tennis career and a school are incompatible. The school system does not allow a tennis career. Those in charge have no idea how long it takes ”.
