Austrian star Dominic Thiem is one of the best players and early in his life, he was coached by his father Wolfgang Thiem. He has now opened an academy and many major stars are stopping by to visit it.

Stan Wawrinka visited it about 2 weeks ago and hit a few balls for about 2 hours. Now, French Open champion Iga Swiatek has also come to visit the academy and she loved its ‘perfect training units’.

Obviously, Wolfgang was glad that she visited the training centre as he said, “Ideal when our talents can compete with stars.” He is definitely hoping more such champions will visit his academy in the future.
