No basis for discussion at the moment - Dominic Thiem and Günter Bresnik

Dominic Thiem was “very disappointed”   shown on Wednesday after the recent statements by his ex-coach Günter Bresnik. "It is unfortunate that Günter Bresnik, for whatever reason, is carried away to make my family and me bad in public after we have successfully worked together for so many years," said Thiem.

At the beginning of the week, Bresnik had said about the collaboration with Thiem that ended almost a year ago that there were “things that I just don't understand. Honesty, loyalty, values - not much has been adhered to ”. He actually had no problem with it. Except that you might be annoyed that you were fooled. If I owe everything to someone, I can't deal with him that way. Wolfgang (Thiem) would be a club trainer in Seebenstein and Dominic would be a future player. "

Thiem does not want to “leave comments uncommented”

Dominic Thiem responded in a detailed statement that “I cannot and will not leave these statements uncommented”. “If Bresnik misses the respect he deserves after I owe him everything and seriously means that without him my father would be a club coach in Seebenstein and I would be a future player - then the question arises for me whether he is subject to a certain megalomania. "

"And he does not, conversely, lack any respect for my person and my father," said the current number 3 in the tennis world rankings. He had parted ways with Bresnik as a trainer and manager “for no reason”. “Günter Bresnik knows the reasons for this. And I don't want to make it public - at least for the time being, ”says Thiem.

Bresnik's statements would be "more than dispensable in my view" and would be self-sufficient, "Dominic Thiem stated. Regardless, he wishes “Günter Bresnik all the best for the future”.
