World No. 3 Dominic Thiem and his long time coach Gunter Bresnik parted ways last year after working together for 15 years. A year after the split, the Austrian coach took a dig o Thiem and his father Wolfgang. It seems there still is an unhealed wound left between the two after they split up. However, why does Gunter finds Thiem guilty for their worn relationship?
Thiem was coached by Gunter Bresnik since he was eight. However, Thiem’s family has known Bresnik since the 26-year-old was three — after Thiem’s father, Wolfgang came to work as a coach at Bresnik’s international tennis academy in Vienna in 1997. However, according to Bresnik, Thiem does not value his service for him all these years. Gunter also believes that Thiem would only be a “Futures” player without him.
