Thiem is clearly in love with his racket. “I would say it was love at first sight. Everything was working. That’s very important that all the strokes are working and then also I don’t lose any feeling on the volleys or slices.”

Dominic used the pure strike for the first time five years ago. The thing Dominic likes about the racquet is that it is very strong and stable and provides an excellent amount of control to the player. This is an indispensable part of a tennis player’s game because if the racquet’s not supportive of your style, all the preparation and technique goes down the drain.
