Dominic Thiem's career is marked by a historic Grand Slam breakthrough. He became the first man born in the 1990s to win a major singles title, ending a 15-year drought for that generation. His 2020 US Open victory also made him only the second Austrian to win a Grand Slam, after Thomas Muster. Thiem's one-handed backhand was a throwback to a bygone era, and his success with it is a point of pride for traditionalists. He was a consistent top-10 player for several years, reaching the ATP Finals in 2019 and 2020, and his rivalry with Nadal on clay produced some of the most thrilling matches of the decade.

AwardsDominic Thiem's trophy cabinet includes one Grand Slam title, the 2020 US Open, and one ATP Masters 1000 title at Indian Wells in 2019. He also won 17 ATP Tour singles titles in total. In 2020, he was named the Austrian Sportsman of the Year, a prestigious national honor.
