Dominic Thiem: Reaching French Open final was my best moment ever
What is Dominic Thiem's best-ever tennis moment? In a conference call in Doha, the Austrian player said: 'My best moment was when I won the semi-finals in Roland Garros and it was the moment when I was, when I reached my first Grand Slam finals and it was pure happiness. Making finals in the Grand Slam was amazing for me and I hope I can make even better in the future.'
Who was his idol or role model growing up? 'I didn't have one role model. I just loved watching tennis and I was loving all the guys who were good, so not one special player.'
Asked what he eats for breakfast, Thiem replied: 'Here (in Doha) or in general? In Doha, I like eggs all the time and I love Arabic breakfast, like hummus and pitta bread and all the traditional stuff. And for last a bit of sweet stuff like bread with chocolate cream or something.'
The best advice he has received? 'Maybe it was the advice from my coach when I was 12-years-old that I have to change to a one-handed backhand.'
Thiem, the second seed in Doha, was upset in the first round in Doha by Frenchman Pierre-Hugues Herbert 7-5, 6-3.
