It's been over five years since Dominic Thiem conquered the US Open 2020, his first and only Grand Slam title. We all thought that would be the definitive springboard to see him dominating the circuit, but it turned out to be the opposite. Retired since last season, the Austrian recalled in the Jot Down Sport podcast what he thought at that moment.

“It took a lot of research and experimentation to reach those details that I was missing to win a Grand Slam. Tournament planning was exhausting; I had to optimize everything to arrive in my best physical shape for those four tournaments. I was quite naive back then, thinking that if I won the tournament and fulfilled the dream of becoming a star, the rest of my career would be easy. I really believed it, but then I was left without a specific goal,” confesses the former world No. 3.
