Jimmy Connors believes that Dominic Thiem should take a look at the legacy of the Big Three in order to find hope for playing in his 30s. Last week, the Austrian tennis star hinted that this could be his final season if his results don’t improve. In light of this, Connors, a tennis legend, suggests that Thiem can draw inspiration from the likes of Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, and Andy Murray.
Since his memorable victory at the 2020 US Open, Thiem has been plagued by injuries and poor performances. He has failed to advance beyond the second round of any major tournament since last year and currently sits at the 90th position in the world rankings.
During an episode of the Advantage Connors Podcast, Jimmy Connors expressed his belief that Dominic Thiem should look at the success of Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic in their mid-30s as motivation to regain his previous level of play. Connors also added that tennis fans are hopeful that Thiem won’t give up, as the latter part of his career could potentially surpass its beginning.
Four years after winning his first and only major title, Dominic Thiem is now contemplating whether it is worth continuing his tennis career. He has yet to secure a single victory this season, having been eliminated in the first round of both the Brisbane International and the Australian Open.
Thiem’s decline in form began in 2021 and hit its lowest point in 2022 when he dropped out of the Top 300 in the ATP Live Ranking. Although he managed to climb back to the Top 100 last year, he has yet to claim a title.
