During a recent interview for L’Equipe, Dominic Thiem’s father described his coaching methods while also lauding his wife’s tenacity - an attribute he believes was imbibed by his son.
The Thiem family may not be on the best of terms with Dominic Thiem’s former coach Gunter Bresnik, but that didn’t stop Wolfgang from praising the latter’s role in his son’s development.
That said, Wolfgang Thiem does believe that his son could have scaled even greater heights if a former champion had taken charge from Bresnik during Dominic’s earlier years on the tour.
According to Wolfgang, Nicolas Massu is a significant upgrade for Dominic Thiem. Wolfgang reckons that the Chilean, having gotten first-hand knowledge of facing top players like Rafael Nadal, provides his son with more relevant insights.

Wolfgang then briefly described Dominic Thiem’s growing up years. He revealed that his son would spend several hours playing several ‘ball sports’, and that he had high physical and mental endurance levels from an early age.
