Stats - Thiem is the player born after 1990 with the most wins against the Big Three (16)
Dominic Thiem is about to call time on his career.
At the end of this week's ATP 500 in Vienna, the Austrian prodigy will be putting away his rackets for good.
The time has come to pay tribute to this shooting star of world tennis.
One statistic illustrates the monumental level of tennis Thiem played for several seasons in the late 2010s.
Of all players born after 1990, the former world No. 3 beat the members of the Big Three (Nadal, Djokovic and Federer) by a wide margin, with 16 victories.
His closest pursuer is 5 points behind (Zverev with 11 successes), and they are the only two players with more than 10 victories against these three legends.
