In 2011, Daniel Köllerer from Wels had to end his tennis career because he was banned for life in three cases for match-fixing. At his best, he was ranked 55th in the world. After that, it was quiet for a long time around “Crazy Dani” (a nickname from his active days), before he appeared in several trash TV formats (“Celebrity Big Brother”, ” “Adam is looking for Eva” or “Forsthaus Rampensau”) might be seen on television.
In an interview with a daily newspaper that he conducted on the occasion of the birth of his son, he spoke regarding Dominic Thiem several times. “The guy always has something. If I complain once morest him now, I’m not even the bogeyman anymore. Then I’m the celebrated one because I’m the one who finally says it. Thiem would never have won a Grand Slam if Corona “It wouldn’t have been possible. His ranking with number three was far too good. You can see where he’s messing around now. In the Davis Cup once morest number 700 he had to fend off a set point.”
“Sell tickets at the circus”
Thiem’s fitness is also a thorn in Köllerer’s mind. “He can’t even resist defeat anymore. And we’re miles away from physical fitness anyway. He doesn’t win a five-set match anymore. He sleeps through the first one every time anyway, I have no idea where he’ll be. If If he continues as he is now, he will soon be selling tickets in the circus.”
