Coach for a few weeks of Dominic Thiem before an early end of collaboration, Thomas Muster spoke about the return of his compatriot from injury in the columns of the Serbian daily Courier. Fairly positioned to speak after being hit by a car in 1989, Muster knows better than anyone that it will be a long and perilous road before seeing a performance Thiem again.
“I think he will be really back in 2023. Next year will be extremely difficult for him. Just look at the leaderboard, when the frozen leaderboard points disappear, it will be around 60e world place. If he can’t defend his round of 16 at the Australian Open, and it gets tough early on, he’ll be around 100. And from there, he won’t even be able to compete in all the main competitions. . He has to get used to everything again, after this injury, in daily training or playing games, everything has to come back. “
