Dominic has probably had the best season of his career this year. He finally won his first major. He began the year by finishing as the runner-up at the Australian Open. Thiem lost to Novak Djokovic in a thrilling 5-set match. After this, tennis was paused due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Once the season resumed, the Austrian lost to the Argentine Diego Schwartzman in another epic 5-set battle at Roland Garros. Finally, the wait ended at the US Open. In the final, Thiem clawed back after being two sets down, to eventually win the match in 5 sets against Germany’s Alexander Zverev.
