MELBOURNE - Dominic Thiem is reaping the benefits of arriving in Australia extra early, his coach said on Saturday, building the Austrian’s confidence for his Australian Open title clash against Novak Djokovic on Sunday.
Djokovic arrived at the year’s first Grand Slam having won all six of his singles matches in Serbia’s title run at the inaugural ATP Cup. The 32-year-old then lost only one set in his six matches at the Australian Open, in his opening round outing against German Jan-Lennard Struff. “We are here in Australia one month and a half, practising, focusing on this tournament. Dominic was motivated to come early to prepare,” coach Nicolas Massu said.
An acclaimed clay-court player and a two-time runner-up at Roland Garros, Thiem won three of his five titles in 2019 on hard court and also picked up his first hard court win against the Serb at the ATP Finals.
