Does Dominic Thiem win another Slam?

[Aabye5]

The field is wide open and the big 3 are aging. Dominic Thiem was once tapped to be one of their successors and finally managed to bag a Slam in their absence in 2020. After his wrist injury left him on the sidelines for months, however, and his comeback has been tentative, do you still see Thiem as a Slam winner?

 

[mike danny]

This year? Hell no.

Next year? Still no, IMO.

I think 2024 will answer this question but let's see how Thiem holds up in his 30's.

Poor Tim

 

[Meles Fan.]

Just want him to compete comfortably again:/

 

[dropshotlikeitshot]

Reaching the SFs of a major ever again should be the question for Thiem.

No.
He has a matchup problem with every mainstream player younger than him, but was overcoming them so far until 2020 based on sheer physicality & yet lost many matches. Now that he's lost his edge, I don't think he's good enough to beat Medvedev, Zverev, Tsitsipas, Berretini etc.

Thiem is finnish. a devastating wrist injury to a ohbh is game over. look at del po, guy could barely recover from a wrist injury to his non-dominate hand that screwed his backhand.

 

[BeatlesFan]

The only reason Them won 1 slam was because Zverev choked like a whining little weasel and couldn't serve it out or hold onto a two set lead.

So no, it's extremely unlikely Domi ever gets close to winning another major.

 

[Tennfan123]

No. His peak was about 3 years ago now. He was good, but not so special he could fall so far down and get back to his peak. A Siemerink like end to his career.

 

[Shaolin]

''Hell no'' should be a poll option.

 

[chrischris]

He is real stand up man, doing his bit. Good stuff Thiem

Anything possible in Career Inflation Era.

 

[tex123]

When his forehand comes back, he's going to become a top player. Until then we've got to wait.

WTA level headcase

Not even on topspin 4

 

[ForehandCross]

YES.

he could win the us open again, will play alcarez in the final

 

[James P]

I'd root for him to do so (so long as he isn't facing one of my faves), definitely would like to see him get back to the pinnacle of success in tennis, but my current mood is that I highly doubt it.

 

[brewpats]

17 titles in a six year span, only 28yo coming into tail of Nole and Rafa careers. Think there's a reasonable chance he can do it again one time.

 

[fishpiefriday]

I'd be very surprised if he did.

 

[Goticusrex]

I saw him last week at Kitzbühel Open (lost to Hanfmann in 3)
My guess is that he will not reach the Top10 again (he was spreading BHs and FHs like hell). Only his serve kept him in play for 3 sets, that was impressive). No chance against any Spanish/Italian grinder at the moment...
Hopefully he had only a bad day, but I doubt it...
Most of his errors were out not by some cms, but by 1 or 2 meters (believe or not).

 

[Deleted member 791948]

Definitely, he'll win more slams than Djokovic between now and Djokovic's retirement

 

[junior74]

Poor Tim

10+ slams in any other era

 

[James P]

10+ Kitzbühel's in any other era

Yes

 

[leodevlin]

No, and let's face it, he only won the USO because Djokovic was disqualified and Zverev is a choker.

 

[Mustard]

Perhaps, in time. At the moment, he needs to stick at what he's doing, get more and more used to the training, practice, travel, routines, matches etc. and try to get back in a good run of form. There's been the odd good sign in recent weeks and it might be tough for a while yet, but he has to stick at it.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

No. His peak was about 3 years ago now. He was good, but not so special he could fall so far down and get back to his peak. A Siemerink like end to his career.

Top15 is his ceiling for the remainder of his career.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

No, and let's face it, he only won the USO because Djokovic was disqualified and Zverev is a choker.

USO 2020 was a disgusting Slam final after sets 1 & 2. Atleast in first 2 sets, Sascha was displaying some agression and blasting Thiem off the courts. But oh my God!! Set 5, horrible horrible.

 

[netlets]

I’ve watched most of his comeback matches and he has improved a lot in the last month. He will be in contention provided his wrist is healthy. His one handed bh has not been effected by his wrist injury. He has been absolutely crushing it down the line. He just needs more matches.

 

[platypus50]

Unfortunately I think No - would love to see him win more slams though as I'm a huge fan but I'm not optimistic about it

Sorry, but I think not.

 

[tsp_207]

Yes he will win Roland Garros before he retires. And maybe Australian Open. So he'd end up having a similar career to Wawrinka.

 

[ChaelAZ]

I chose yes because I think he can, but I also think it is a very slim chance in current form.

EDIT to add: This is thinking back to Agassi, though a bit different story, still similar.

 

[Entername]

I think that ship has sailed sadly. I wish he could've won a RG title, if he was on the Stefanos/Zverev section of the draw in 2021, an in form Tim could've beaten Djokovic in the finals.

 

[Start da Game]

he is capable of winning, only time will tell how well he manages to get out of this slump.....he has the experience of being in slam finals which will always help shoukd he somehow reach one in two years time.....
