The Austrian will begin his new season’s campaign at the ATP Cup 2021. He has a lot to prove there especially after Austria’s quick exit last year from the tournament. Moreover, this time, he will be having his dad as the side’s captain.
Thiem’s real challenge will begin at the Australian Open 2021. He will surely hope to win another slam and going by his form, it looks fairly possible. Later in the year, he will also like to defend his US Open title too. Will Thiem be able to minimize the dominance of the Big Three in 2021?
