People all around the world would unanimously agree that 2020 has not been what they expected. The pandemic ruined everyone’s plans, but the world of tennis saw the dawn of a new era. Dominic Thiem broke the ‘Big 3’s’ dominance and won the US Open which Diego Schwartzman feels has opened up new avenues for the players.
Thiem shattered several records with his brilliant win at Flushing Meadows this year. He became the first player not named Djokovic, Nadal, or Federer to win a Grand Slam since 2016.
Furthermore, he won the final after dropping the first two sets and became the first champion in the open era to do so. It was a victory of historic proportions and more importantly, a sign of change! Players now feel more confident that they can dethrone the Top 3 at Majors.

Diego Schwartzman sat down for an interview before his debut at the ATP Finals and mentioned how Thiem and Alexander Zverev broke the chain that had been running for a long long time.
“Dominic is helping a lot of guys,” Schwartzman said. “(Alexander) Zverev as well, playing the final there, to think, OK, we can do it.”
“But it’s really difficult, you know, what you see, guys, is what we see here. So it’s really difficult to beat these guys in five sets and in a grand slam. They’re really, really good,” Schwartzman added.
