There's nothing like the single handed backhand, oozes class & elegance

I miss Thiem…I hope he can get his body healthy and stronger this year.

Mr. Thiem, where are you now? At one point, I thought you were the one who would eventually pound the big 3 into retirement.

[dannywhite]

What an incredible display of power & placement from Dominic Thiem

[willkittwk]

That's one of the sweetest back hands in history

[vineetjain]

Reminds me of Roger's vicious backhand against Nadal at AO 2017

[Dbdbe]

Thiem at his best was just excellent. Sad he had to retire but he did win a slam

[vinishvijayan]

Nadal's main strategy was to attack the single handed backhand player's backhand..he won that mostly against federer..

[michaelthomas]

Step in and take the ball on the rise!

[prudhvikumar]

Wow 😮that backhand is a rocket launcher

[johnrenehan]

Pre 2021 - Dominic Thiem was part of the big 4 in my opinion - he and a scant few others the only players consistently beating the big three
You will be missed man !!

[yashasvi-lnp]

Thiem at his best was as good as Nadal and Djokovic. Unfortunate how short his career was, so glad he won one slam at least

[isaacdemir]

Thiems the embodiment of Link from Zelda. Fighting spirit and giant killer

[plostyle]

Prime thiem was very impressive. Glad he won one major at least. Should have been more.
