Dominic Thiem announces he'll retire at the end of the season. Danke Domi and let's see what the rest of 2024 brings 🙏
Loss of confidence + back to back injuries
That's all
So sad
So unfortunate
And last but not least,an inspiration for many tennis lovers like me.
One handed backhand and clay court as favourite surface it' s already a big combination !!!!
The only man who could go toe to toe with Djokovic and Nadal on clay 2017-2019 legend 😢
He didnt really threat Nadal on clay, but when it comes to hardcourt its another story
He led the h2h 5-2 against Federer, having beaten the legend on every surfaces including clay, grass, both indoor & outdoor hcs.
@anseinueseima408 you have no idea what you're talking about lmao
@@anseinueseima408what he beat nadal 4 times on clay
If he was fit after US open title.... Rafa and Novac could be no where close to 20 Grand slams titles ...
I hate how injury can completely upend someone’s career. He had so much more to give. He was one of few who could challenge the big 3. He’s not only an incredible player, but one of the sweetest and most popular players on tour ❤❤❤
Youre right
@@excalibur9545As always, lol
Sadly, it happens often to the best..
Del Potro's pattern. #Missedbutnotforgotten
One of the most painful retirements on the tour in the 21st century. One of the most unique and exciting players. By far the most stunning down-the-line backhand of all time. I really wish people studied this shot and copied the good, innovative aspects, Dominic really took the shot to unprecedented dimensions that many people still keep saying are impossible with the one-hander (like those amazing open-stance winners). Helped him win 5 out of his last 7 matches with Djokovic. I wish him all the best, there's more to life than tennis.
Couldn't have said it better. His one handed backhand down the line is the most exciting shot to see for me. He will be missed!
His 2 first sets against Nadal in RG 2019 are one of the best sets I've ever seen, amazing player
If he was fit after US open title.... Rafa and Novac could be no where close to 20 Grand slams titles ...
@@Magicpot567Nahh!! He isn’t same league as like as big-3
@@teasellermodi5897he isn t but djoko aand nadal would ve been too old to face off prime thiem.
@@teasellermodi5897 but he has the game to take them down look at the h2h
@@Magicpot567maybe true but dont put aside the fact that Nadal and Djokovic took between themselves one from another many slams otherwise one of them would have 30+ slams before Thiem and very hard reachable.
Knew this was coming but it's still a shock
Beautiful player to watch... Loved his backhand... Graceful.. Humble.. One of the great ambassadors of the game ❤
That backhand was a money shot. Thiem, Fed, and Stan had the best one handers of the last 2 decades.
Prime Thiem just destroy Everyball , one of the most exciting player after Big3 , We gonna miss him....
Have a happy Retirement Dominic.... Only player to take the Big Three head on and come out the otherside victorious!
What about Murray del Porto or Wawrinka ? Or even Tsonga or Cilic….
@@MaxiGenferei Wawrinka's H2H with the big 3 is 12 wins and 63 losses. Tsonga's H2H is 16 wins and 39 losses. Del Potro's H2H is 17 wins and 45 losses. Thiem's H2H with the big 3 is 16 wins and 19 losses. He was really the closest thing to the big 3 in his prime after Murray. His peak level was insanely high. His biggest problem was inconsistency, he was losing many early round matches to random players. But at his best, he was basically as good as the big 3.
@@J.-M.Lol he faced big 3 in their 30s and Fed of late 30s
@@blistering2900 Many other top players did, and they still couldn't beat them. The only matches that really inflated his H2H were those 2016 matches with Federer when Roger was basically playing on one leg with his injured knee (and playing really poorly). But he was really playing brutal tennis against Djokovic (won 5 out of their last 7 meetings, and even the 2 he lost were very close) and Nadal, and those victories were "legit". His peak level was incredible, some of the best tennis the tour has ever seen.
@@J.-M. well do exactly same H2H but only for GS. Matches Have you seen the 45 losses from Del Potro? Only bangers. Wawrinka lost 63 times but won 3 slams beating each time all Top 3, and if you lost that much it also mean that you’ve reached late stages of tournament many many times….
Great player… nice guy. The first of the new breed of sportsmanship we now see in Sinner and Alcaraz. Thanks for the memories. Go enjoy the rest of your like 🙏🏻
This backhands will never be forgotten....Most powerful
If my correct, all that power is the cause of he's short injury prone prime ?
@@wimowalternative I think it's the forehand that really damaged his wrist. It was also his forehand, his main weapon, that has been lost forever after the wrist injury. His backhand was still fine in 2022 and parts of 2023.
Gonna miss this guy incredible player and super respectful at all times on court. Sucks both Del Potro and Thiem have both had their careers cut short by wrist injuries, two of the greatest shot makers I have ever seen.
The Thieminator was so awesome, his play style made for great tennis, but extracted a massive physical price. He was defintely slam worthy but I knew his body could never deliver more then a couple. His forehand pace was something else. He never fully recovered from his injury. Thanks and best of luck to him in the next stage of life. He has a great attitude so he will do well.
"The Thieminator". I like that. That's good. 👍
This reminds me too much of Del Potro who was my favorite.
Absolute gentleman and lovable dude. One of the few who could beat the big 3 consistently. Career shortened because of injuries. Only Grand Slam at US Open when it could have been way more if he had stayed healthy.
Really sad news, but I wish him nothing but happiness in his life off the court. It was a pleasure and thank you, Domi!
Was looking for this comment. At least delpo had a renaissance in 2017/18 but sadly not to be for thiem
Unfortunately too soon 😢 Thanks for the great memories!
Will miss you Domi🥲😕
Dominic is a great player who gave happiness to millions of people across the countries. He is loved by everyone.
Austria is lucky to have produced such a gem !!
Thankyou Dominic.
Going to miss you Dominic. Loved your personality and demeanor on court as well as your amazing groundstrokes. Happy retirement ❤
One of my favorite players. Truly will be missed, Dom. What phenomenal tennis and fighting spirit on the courts over the years. Many happy memories.
Really sad how it ended for Thiem. Guy was my favorite player and really got me back into the sport. These highlights are great reminder of how good he was
DOMI! What a career! We will miss you! 💖
本当に本当に本当に大好きでした。
僕のテニスは彼から学んだものです。(実力は初心者レベルですが、、、)
最後まで全力で応援します。これまでの感動をありがとう✨
Had a great career: Achieved the height of his goal to win a GS. Life has many other things to offer also. Excellent conduct an example for younger people.
Heartbreaking news from Thiem… though one can certainly not blame him given how his comeback has panned out sadly! 😔
Superb selection from a solid career… his ability to change direction on his backhand is second to none! Clean hitting and high level of play both on hard court as well as clay… not to forget what a wonderful human being he is! Gonna miss him on the tour for sure… ❤️
I've only been in the tennis world for a short time, but I read from Thiem that he had psychological problems, but that he's doing better now. Thanks to him for sharing and for drawing attention to mental health, which is so important and so many struggle. And wow, this backhand, but also the other highlights here! And thanks to TennisTV for compiling his wins in the comment, I didn't know (still don't know which GS he won against who) but he showed Djokovic and the King Nadal a few times as seen in the video. So he used to play at the top and according to the comment was also in the top 10?!
Tennis TV could release another 10 compilations of his equally amazing backhands and it would still be a tiny fraction of the amazing backhands he hit in his career. He could literally, without exaggeration, hit more stunning down-the-line backhands in a single match, even on a bad day, than many players hit in their career. It helped him win 5 out of his last 7 matches with Djokovic, got him to world No. 3. He was the biggest threat to the "big 3" in his prime, nobody else had such amazing stats against them.
it is very sad to see that injury can destroy a player of this caliber at such a young age. good wishes domi
The most enjoyable, gifted tennis player Ive seen. A true gem in the Tennis world, on and off court.
Great player, very sad to see him go, but it is better this way. For the champion he is, he suffered enough. Happy retirement, Dominic Thiem!
Absolutely heartbreaking. I always thought he would make the comeback and get back to the Top 10, but it just wasn't happening. I am shocked he is retiring before Nadal and Djokovic, I don't think anyone would have guessed that after his 2020 US Open win. Congratulations on an amazing career Thiem. At your best, you could've beat anyone across the net, not many players can say that.
Actually, many people were constantly saying with absolute certainty "He will win many Roland Garros titles after Rafa retires" or, even worse "I will root for him after Rafa retires". They were saying it every year since 2015, but even then it was already clear to many people (including me) that with his taxing game style, he will be either too old to win anything meaningful after Rafa retires, or he may retire even earlier than him. People just always have unrealistic ideas and never learn, and this also included his comeback (constantly saying "He's still young, he has many more years, he will certainly get back to top 10 and win more grand slams etc.", even though it was increasingly clear with each passing month that he's done for good).
The moral of the story? Don't wait for your favourite player to retire before you start rooting for a new one. The new one may already be too old by then. Don't think that players will have their best years in them in their thirties. They won't. No, 35 is not the new 25 and all that nonsense that people keep repeating. If you want to enjoy success or anything or anyone in life, now is the best chance. There may not be another one in 5 or 10 years. Don't wait for anything. I remember Dominic saying several years ago he won't play the olympics, it's not so important to him and he's still young and there will be another chance... There wasn't.
@@J.-M. I mean he's just a high performance athlete who's had an injury that's prevented him from getting back to the top. It happens: see Roddick, Del Potro, Soderling (illness).
You will be missed, Dominic! ❤️
Amazing career. 13th All time money winner in the mens sport, which surprises a lot of people. One of the best purveyors of the single handed backhand in the modern game.
he's only that high on the list if you don't adjust for inflation. prize money went way up in the '10s
oh man, Dominic we'll miss you
Danke Domi, du warst in deiner Höchstform einer der besten.
I literally was in a bad mood at work all day today. I'm gonna miss Dominic. I hope he continues to be influence and continues to be involved in the tennis world in some way, shape, or form.
First Roger and now Thiem!! It seems like the fate is taking out my favs
If he was fit after US open title.... Rafa and Novac could be no where close to 20 Grand slams titles ...
@Magicpot567 if Nadal was fit, Djokovic and Federer would be nowhere near him.
no@@Jackie-ji2sj
@@Jackie-ji2sj😂😅
Not fate but age taking out Roger, I mean he retired aged 40 vs 30 for Thiem
Give this boy whatever he wants. What a beautiful player and lethal game!
The power he had before his injury was incredible.
The only man who gave the Big 3 a serious collective run for their money, his one hander will never be forgotten.
One of the few guys, if not the only guy at his peak that can match nadal physically and blow him off the court, even on clay and can also out match Novak.
Great Player, Great Guy
And the Backhand will never be forgotten
One of the best players ever
Thank you Dominic Thiem ❤
Damn shame. Easily one of the best one-handed backhands ever. Could have gone on to be a legendary career if it weren't for injuries. You'll be missed, Dom.
Great player to watch, standing back & just blasting it!
So long and wishing a bright future to this very talented player, Dominic Thiem, who gave tennis a lot and made it a better sport.
Now we know how blessed we are to watch the big 3 last this long. This sport is very unforgiving to body. Thien is a good guy.
Once you get off the juice, injuries destroy you. He was a great player.
Going to miss him. Another great one lost to injury.
Thank you Tennis TV as always.

One of my all-time favorite players, up there with Federer and Agassi. A beautiful mover and ball-striker, with power off both wings. He had many great individual victories. I am glad he is retiring, as he didn't seem to be making any progress with his comeback, but I am also sad I will never see him again at his best.
Thiems BH is my favorite 1HBH in recent history, his game overall was very fun to watch.
Mr. Thiem sir you will be missed. What a pleasure to watch you play. I hope to see you at the US Open.
For sure, this is a big loss for pro tennis. Uber talented, terrific guy, very hard worker, great sport, one of the most beautiful backhands ever.
This just goes to show that no matter how good you are or how much potential that you may have one injury can derail it all. Dominic was one of the dominant players not so long ago and now because of the wrist injury his career is unfortunately coming to an end. I wish Dominic nothing but the best for the rest of his life.
Thiem deserved to finish his career on a better note. He worked tirelessly to make himself the equal of the big three when they were still winning slams, and close to their prime.
Definitely makes the Hall of Fame in my book. His 2020 AO win over Nadal was just unreal
And then he was close to beat Djokovic in final also.
we miss you man you were great sportman and enjoyed watching your matches with Nadal and few other top athletes
I feel sad, I like Diminic so much, he is my favourite player on tour, but I wish the best on his new stage in life.
I am very sad human being right now. My most favorite joyable player to watch!!! ❤❤❤
I love his single handed backhand ..........
Good luck Dominic. Thanks for giving us some great tennis.
Thiem, you will be dearly missed.
LEGEND😭😭😭😭
Thiem's one-handed backhand is just pure beauty on the court. Too bad we are losing another great to retirement.😔
such a great player,very sad news,wish you all the best prince of clay♥
Great career..sorry to hear this!
He's my idol, he gave passion of tennis like Boris Becker.He's one of the few ones who won against Big Three
What a pity!An amazing player.Seems that after that 2020 US Open all crambled down for him.Part for the wrist injury,and maybe some mentality issues for finally being able to obtain that title and the relaxation that comes after.If he wouldnt have that injury,he would still be a top 10 player no doubt.
wow, thats sad news for the tennis world. such a talent uprooted by injury and was never same since. happy retirement to a GS champ
THAT BACKHAND. We will miss you Dominic😥
I’ll be missing you so much 😢
what a shame. his injuries surely robbed us of a legendary career, i'm sure of it. his 2018 us open quarterfinal vs nadal is still one of the most epic matches i've ever seen. superhuman stuff; like two titans battling for control of the cosmos.
Thiem , Domi, we will always remember you as a hard working man
This is the best thing for Dom. He has given all he has to come back, but his game and body weren't having it again😢
Damn, another OHBH bites the dust. The difference in pace and shot quality is obvious compared to his recent form. Glad he was able to get a slam
Yes, an amazing player. But the consistency of his demeanor on and off the court is what impressed me the most. Always polite and humble.
Thiem vs Top 5 players in 2019 and 2020:

Nadal + win

If he was fit after US open title.... Rafa and Novac could be no where close to 20 Grand slams titles ...
Only 8 minutes, Tennis TV? His match against Rafa at the ATP finals of 2020 was spectacular. So many breathtaking shots coming from Thiem.
So sad.. But good thing is he managed to win a major title which many cannot in their career...
Gonna miss that backhand
Loved Thiem! His game his overall talent and and his...of course...one handed backhand!! One of the best in tennis history! He should have won more than one slam and when his injury set in and he was out for quite awhile...coming back and not really getting the results he was used to...well the writing was on the wall. Enjoy your retirement Thiem, you will be missed!
I really thought that Thiem could be the new #1 after the big 3 because he had so much promise! But his injury just upended his career so much. I would love to see him play but only when he feels that he's ready just like how Nadal is right now. He will be sincerely missed!
Now this truly saddens me because he was it!!! He could do it, he could go toe-to-toe with the Big 3 on all surfaces!!! Certainly better than Jannik, Carlos, Holger, and Daniil in my opinion. He was the next big thing, I’m sure of it, and then like so many young geniuses, injury (and destiny) took what it would cruelly take. But unlike those who would maybe come back, he didn’t. The spark was gone, the drive was gone. I am reminded, just a bit, by the stabbing of Monica Seles in 1993. Although she came back and won a major and made quarters and semis consistently after her recovery, you could tell that she wasn’t the same player. If not for that lunatic, the careers of many players on the WTA including the legendary Steffi Graf would not be what they are known to be today. But hey, c’est la vie. You can’t control your destiny, I’m just sad that he can’t retire with a bang, on his own terms.
This man was sometimes the favorite when it came to meeting the Big 3, even in tournaments where you were almost certain he should have lost (think Federer and Djokovic at London and of course Nadal on clay multiple times). That is an essentially unrivaled achievement. Such an extreme loss for the sport.
Well, it's very sad news but not unexpected. Since his wrist surgery he has never came close to his top form. I knew that his technique (though occasionally spectacular) was going to be his undoing. You shouldn't rely on your weakest muscle to generate extra power. It's a recipe to a short career. (You see this in Alcaraz as well but not quite to Thiem's extent.) Just because you can do it doesn't mean you should. I hope he finds joy in his retirement. Thanks for the memories.
Thank you Theim
Sad to see him leave.
It really sucks that he got injured and wasn't able to get back to full fitness! He had some epic matches with Nadal and Djokovic!!
He was the second best tennis player in Austrians history👍 Well done.
Domi legend😢
Alongside Murray, Thiem was one of the rare elites that could consistently threaten and defeat the big 3. Such a shame that wrist injury ended up ending his career prematurely. So so sad. He had so much more to win and achieve before his wrist fell apart in 2021 from all the years of high octane ballstriking. His wrist couldn't keep up with his ability to generate power as well as willpower.
Un talento innato
I'm sure gonna miss the shit out of that backhand. A thing of beauty and a joy forever. Bye Domi.
What a pity! Thiem is the first next generation won a grand slam, but injury destroyed him, this world is not fair.
He was lost generation player.
@@teasellermodi5897 He was his own generation. He wasn't a part of the lost gen players (Dimitrov, Raonic, Nishikori). He was younger and better, stronger than them. Neither was he a part of the original next gen group (Zverev, Rublev etc.). He was somewhere in between. He was unique, in many aspects.
Loved this tennis player!❤
Thiem had so much potential. Sucks he was bitten by the injury bug.
Smart to announce it now. It means he will get wildcards for every tournament. No qualies.
Real shame for many reasons but especially since it looked like he was getting back on track in Kitzbuhel last year
I hate this! we need more players like Thiem. He was really one of the few I thought could get the big 3 out of the way. We will miss him, tennis will miss him.
Bro 1v4'd the big 4 and stood his ground. I'll never forget some of his matches. What a legend
Sad news for him. That first rally with Novak is still one of my favourites in tennis, ever!
