Tennis star Dominic Thiem (28) is preparing his big comeback in Miami. However, following a seven-month break due to a hand injury, fans are gradually losing patience with Thiem. Because instead of training pictures, the athlete posts photos of sightseeing and exuberant dinners with his brother Moritz. A real shitstorm broke out on Instagram: “I would either spend more time returning to the court or announce my resignation,” demands a follower. Another writes: “Please change your management, at least as far as communication is concerned. As bitter as the injury is, the last few months have unfortunately seemed very unprofessional. All the best and hopefully you’ll soon have the opportunity to make Austria proud on the court once more. “
Criticism also because of the Ukraine war
The happy pictures in America annoy the fans: “Did you actually notice that there was war in Europe?” Asks a fan. Others treat him to the beautiful moments: “You deserve it. Take as much time as you do need.” He seems to need it too, because Dominic had to postpone the planned comeback in Indian Wells once more. “I would have loved to play in the States,” said Thiem, who has been out since June last year due to a wrist injury: “It’s getting better and better,” they said.
