The separation from Günter Bresnik , both in the area of coaching and management : It has caused a lot of waves in the past few weeks - and apparently still went off peacefully. And is good from DominicThiem's father's point of view. "It was the right time for Dominic to set this accent. He did it with one conviction, no one persuaded him to do so," said Wolfgang Thiem on the sidelines of the French Open to the Kleine Zeitung .
Especially since the matter was not a hasty decision. "He has already developed. He has the feeling that he is now the man in the team, otherwise it was always a bit Günter. But that was clear because Dominic was a ten-year-old when he started."
Papa Thiem on PK demolition: "Good that he left"
Dominic has become more independent and mature in the past six months. A sign of this: the Zoff for the press conference and Serena Williams. Thiem had been ordered out of his press conference last week because Williams wanted to leave the facility as soon as possible after her defeat. Dominic Thiem then angrily broke off the whole thing after a second interview room was not available. "It was good that he got up and left . He wouldn't have done that six months ago," said Wolfgang Thiem.
Wolfgang Thiem has nothing but praise for the current line-up in Team Thiem. It is an advantage if everything is not in one hand, said Thiem for the decision for new manager Herbert Straka, from whom he also hopes to gain new impulses in the long term. And fitness coach Duglas Cordero reminded Federer fitness legend Pierre Paganini because he worked very tennis-specifically.
The emotional new coach Nicolas Massu is also good for Dominic. "Massu tries to help him in critical situations. He just feels when he should push him. A former player has an extremely good feeling there."
