Dominic Thiem further talked about his regular diet. While at home he consumes the vegetables grown in his own garden. However, being a professional tennis player and touring a major part of the year it doesn’t allow him to do so.

“I just want to have a healthy diet. At home, it’s easier because we use products from our own garden. During tournaments, it is more difficult. But after my career, I want to become a vegetarian,” Thiem added.

After concluding the 2019 season with five ATP titles World Number four Dominic Thiem will commence his 2020 tennis season at Doha Open 2019 in Qatar.
