Austrian tennis legend Dominic Thiem has now laced up his soccer boots for home club Lichtenwörth after retiring from his career. SC chairman praises his technique, but also sees potential for improvement in the US Open winner.  

Let's pretend that's completely normal." That's probably what one or two Lichtenwörth players thought as they stood on the soccer pitch with Austrian tennis legend Dominic Thiem (31) last weekend. The 2020 US Open winner helped out in central midfield for the team from the 2nd class Steinfeld and his home club, even contributing an assist in the 3:3 test against Puchberg. "He's fully fit, technically strong and also has a great shot," praised SC chairman Rainer Gergela.
