As the coronavirus is still spreading rapidly around the world, the US Open had to put some restrictions. One of those restrictions was about the number of people that would be allowed to travel with a player. This number was limited and Dominic Thiem was not happy about it. In a recent interview with Krone(which was translated by Google), he said,
“Three or four people must be allowed. It would be extremely risky to travel without your own physio. You need a coach on-site”

However, unlike Djokovic, Dominic Thiem has said that he is keen on participating at the US Open despite the restrictions. And that is probably because he wants to finally win a Grand Slam which is something he has been trying to do for years.
He has come close on numerous occasions by reaching the finals of the French Open. However, his best opportunity to win a Slam came this year at the Australian Open. He was leading 2 sets to 1 before Djokovic pulled off an incredible comeback and won the title.
