Australian Open, Is it Thiem's time?

The tennis season has already begun, with the Australian Open being the first Grand Slam event that will bring together the best of the best of the racket, net and ball game from around the world. The favorites to take the trophy, the ones who have always been involved: the Serbian Novak Djockovic and the Spanish Rafael Nadal, but this time I place my chip in the box of a young Austrian named Dominic Thiem.

He is ready to displace the best in the world. He was already a finalist in this same tournament last year, starring in an electrifying semi-final match against the Spaniard Nadal, only to later fall in the decisive game against the number one player on the planet, the Serbian Novak Djokovic. Igualemte Thiem already knows what it feels like to win a Grand Slam when he lifted the cup in the final of the US Open in 2020 for the first time in his career, becoming the first of his generation to achieve this feat.

The boy is ready to achieve this goal, his game is getting stronger, almost like a young "Rafa" but with a more forceful serve which is getting better and better with time. Thiem is a tennis player with a lot of physical strength but also mental, same that distinguishes the best ones from the rest of the competitors. After the end of the season break Thiem seems to be ready for glory in Melbourne, his game will speak for him in this second attempt to raise the cup in the land of the kangaroos.
