In 2020, if there was any player who had a great season it was Dominic Thiem. Out of the three majors played, the Austrian made it to two finals, losing at the Australian Open and winning the US Open. Taking all these years into account, Thiem has really worked hard to be mentioned in the same breath as Federer, Nadal, or even Djokovic.
Out of their last four meetings, Thiem has won three against the likes of Djokovic and Nadal. He has even won the last three meetings against Federer. These statistics clearly indicate that he’s the man to beat and has taken his game to the next level.
