At the Erste Bank Open last October in the Wiener Stadthalle, Thomas Muster had already had intensive discussions with Dominic Thiem after his games. At the ATP Cup in Australia, the 52-year-old Styrian - also at Thiem's request - acted as captain of the Austrian team. In Sydney, the collaboration between Muster and the current fourth in the world rankings for the tennis year 2020 has now been brought together. The French Open triumphator 1995 will coach Thiem with head coach Nicolas Massu at the tournament highlights this season such as the Grand Slams or the ATP Masters 1000 events.
"I am very happy that the collaboration with Tom is now fixed, it will be a great time for sure! We have been training together for the past few days and that worked very well. Tom develops incredible energy as a supervisor, he also gives us very, very valuable advice as a captain. Working with him will really help me. We are very motivated and will do everything we can to achieve our goals, ”said Dominic Thiem, who is aiming to win a Grand Slam title after two finals at the French Open (2018, 2019).
Muster - "Get the best out of Thiem"

All of this will happen together with Nicolas Massu, who remains his main coach. I believe that we can complement each other very well and get the best out of Dominic, ”Thomas Muster is convinced.
