Dominic Thiem and Rafael Nadal: A Courtside Chat
Rafael Nadal: Hey, Dominic! Great to see you, man. How’ve you been holding up?
Dominic Thiem: Rafa! It’s always awesome catching up with you. I’ve been doing well, trying to push through everything. You know how it is. How about you?
Rafael Nadal: Same here. Training hard, as always. But you, my friend, have been on quite the run lately. That US Open title—it was something special. How did that feel?
Dominic Thiem: Oh, man, it was incredible. Honestly, I don’t think it’s even fully sunk in. Winning my first Grand Slam, especially after some close calls, was just surreal. And doing it during such a crazy year made it even more memorable.
Rafael Nadal: Absolutely. And I remember our battles on the court. Always so intense, so close. You’ve grown so much, Dominic. What’s been your secret sauce?
Dominic Thiem: Thanks, Rafa. I’ve learned a lot from our matches—your tenacity, your spirit, it’s inspiring. For me, it’s been about focusing on my mental game, staying patient, and, of course, lots and lots of practice. Plus, a great team behind me helps a ton.
Rafael Nadal: That mental strength is crucial. Speaking of, how do you deal with the pressure and expectations now? Any special routines?
Dominic Thiem: Definitely. I try to keep things balanced. I love playing football or just hanging out with friends to clear my mind. And I’ve gotten into some interesting hobbies—like you and your love for fishing, right?
Rafael Nadal: Haha, yes! Fishing is my escape. It’s peaceful out on the water. Do you have any new hobbies?
Dominic Thiem: Actually, yes. I’ve been dabbling in photography. It’s a great way to capture moments and see the world from a different perspective. And sometimes, it’s just good to focus on something other than tennis.
Rafael Nadal: That’s fantastic. Having those outlets is so important. So, what’s next for you, Dominic? Any goals you’re chasing?
Dominic Thiem: I’m aiming for consistency. I’d love to add more titles to my name, but more importantly, I want to keep improving and enjoying the game. What about you, Rafa? Still planning on dominating clay for years to come?
Rafael Nadal: Haha, we’ll see. I’ll keep going as long as my body lets me. But seeing guys like you step up—it’s great for the sport. Maybe we’ll even team up someday. How fun would that be?
Dominic Thiem: That would be legendary! Let’s make it happen. Thanks for the chat, Rafa. Always motivating talking to you.
Rafael Nadal: Likewise, Dominic. Keep pushing those limits. See you on the court!
