The world number six is not inactive despite his physical problems, because in addition to completing his rehab program, Thiem also acts as an analyst during the last Grand Slam tournament of the year.

Thiem was also asked about Stefanos Tsitsipas's bathroom breaks and expressed at least some understanding for the Greek: "You have to go out at least twice in a five-set match to change your pants. if you sweat a lot. " However, according to the Lower Austrian, there should be a time limit.
Thiem announced his premature end of the season two weeks ago and hopes to start at the Australian Open.
