Thiem sends a message: "Enjoy the process".

With his career set to come to an end at the end of this week's ATP 500 in Vienna, Dominic Thiem recently spoke to Tennis Majors.

Among other things, he addressed the players still in the hunt for a Grand Slam title.

Reflecting on his long-awaited US Open title in 2020, he explained: "I suddenly realized that it wouldn't necessarily make me happy forever.

I don't know if they can understand what I'm saying, but I think for long-term happiness and for a long-term life, it's better if you understand it that way. I was down 5-3 in the fifth set (in the 2020 US Open final against Zverev).

So it could easily have happened that I never won a major trophy.

I really think I'd see things the same way now.

What's really important is to really give it your all and do your best in every game. Enjoy the process.

Your life shouldn't depend on two or three points here or there. If you've given it your all, what more could you possibly do?"

Just wishing Dominic Thiem all the best for his future. Tennis is a hard game at any level, but for professionals wanting to reach the top, or to stay at the top, it is very tough, both physically and mentally. Not many have the ability to control both in the long run.
