Stuck in a complicated period since his return from injury (seven defeats in a row), Dominic Thiem is still as active on his social networks as well as for various media. Recently, the Austrian was questioned by the ATP on his first impressions when he started on grass and in particular when he faced Roger Federer for the first time on this surface. It was in the semi-finals of the Stuttgart tournament in 2016.
“Even though it wasn’t Roger’s best year, I have to say it was unreal for me to beat him. I entered the match with a very easy frame of mind, just to enjoy playing against Roger on a grass pitch. I lost the first set and was leading 5–0 in the second, then it came back to 5–5. I told myself that if I could win this second set, I could also win the match, and that’s what happened (victory 3-6, 7-6 (7), 6-4, editor’s note). »
