Thomas Muster clear
Thiem out too early? “There was still something in it”
According to tennis legend Thomas Muster, Dominic Thiem is hanging up his racket too early. The 31-year-old could have played at professional level for a few more years, the former number one is convinced in an interview with krone.at on Tuesday evening at the opening of the "Tennis Experience" in the Wiener Stadthalle.
"Unfortunately it's a bit early for me, I would have liked to have seen more. When I see other players who are still playing at the age of 38 or 39, I can imagine that there would have been a bit more in there," said the 1995 French Open winner, whose biggest trophies are on display in the exhibition but will be auctioned off after the event.
Proceeds will be donated
"I want to help people who may not have fallen on the butter side," Muster promises, donating the proceeds to the "Ö3 Christmas Miracle".
The exhibition opens on October 9 at Studio F. What's on show? "It's a good mix of vivid memories, where you can really experience how tennis was played back then, and paraphernalia from all generations," says Herwig Straka, organizer of the Erste Bank Open.
The objects on display range from tennis rackets from the 1970s to jerseys worn by icons such as Andre Agassi and the racket with which Thiem won the US Open in 2020, his only Grand Slam title.
