Thiem: “I hope someday Federer, Nadal and Djokovic stop dominating”

Dominic Thiem commented on the Big three's - Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic – dominance and admitted; he hopes someday will stop dominating. “I hope that they stop dominating some day. And, I hope that the younger players can (achieve a lot). But, obviously, they are great champions. The best champions of the sport in general and, certainly, the best generation of players we have had in the circuit.” Thiem also previewed the Davis Cup qualifying tie that he will play for Austria at home against Chile in February 2019: “The Austrian fans expect us to win the tie, but it will be difficult. Everyone knows how dangerous Nicolas Jarry is. He can beat any player in the world. Christian Garin is improving consistently. He won the French Open junior title, which shows how big his potential is. And of course, we know Hans Podlipnik Castillo in Austria.”
