Accustomed to escapades on the ATP circuit, the Kazakh once again lost his temper following his defeat against the Austrian in the first round of the US Open. So much so that he dropped the following sentence during the second set: “I can’t stand putting all these handicapped people back in their careers.”
Dominic Thiem, who has started a long road to return to his best level, reacted after his first grand slam victory in two and a half years: “I don’t know if the translation is correct. He really said that? Yes, those are harsh words, something you shouldn’t say in general, just out of respect. Maybe he didn’t say it that way. But what can I say about it? “.
The one who will be 30 in a few days will face the American Ben Shelton in the second round, ranked 47th in the world.
