Boris Becker, Vienna winner in 1996, believes Dominic Thiem can return to the absolute top of the world. “I am convinced that he has not forgotten how to play tennis and he could still get into the top ten if he is willing to pay the price that he paid for it before,” said the 55-year-old German As part of the Erste Bank Open in the Wiener Stadthalle.
Thiem is currently in the comeback phase, Becker explained in the ORF interview. “I really appreciate Dominic and have great respect for his successes. His punches are good, the attitude is good, but something between heaven and earth doesn’t fit yet. I can’t say what exactly. In any case, he should be physically fit again,” said Becker.
