A Grand Slam winner in the era of the Big Three domination, Dominic Thiem has already set the track blazing and will be the player to watch out for in the decade to come. All the information about Dominic Thiem’s racquet along with its specifications, customization and other players using it can be found below.
2020 was a strange year across board and tennis was no different when it saw almost half of its calendar chopped off because of the global health concerns.
While it might have helped Thiem in that Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer did not participate in the US Open, and Novak Djokovic was defaulted out of the tournament, but most tennis fans had an inkling the Austrian was getting closer and closer to his maiden Grand Slam triumph.

Such a result always looked a possibility when in 2016, Thiem reached the French Open semifinal for the first time, losing to the eventual winner Djokovic.
Another semifinal followed soon after at Roland-Garros in 2017 and before one knew it, Thiem had upped the ante and made the finals at the next two editions of the same tournament.
In the 2019-2020 phase, his game evolved to another level.
Thiem, who was always deemed to be a clay court specialist and a prince who took over the crown from Nadal once he was done with the French Open, won the Indian Wells Masters title of 2019 on its hard courts.
A couple of quarterfinals at the Canadian Open and the Shanghai Masters followed that very year before he made it to his maiden Grand Slam final outside of the French Open – and it came at the 2020 Australian Open.
The pandemic break didn’t help most players but Thiem seemed ready for it and carved out a neat victory at the US Open, defeating Alexander Zverev (check his racquet specs here) in the final after being two sets down.
Thiem’s game consists of multiple facets, with his aggressive baseline play, crashing forehand and a classy-looking single-handed backhand joining hands to help him become a force in tennis.
