triumphant return to the tour at the Madrid Open on Tuesday. Thiem controlled the proceedings from the get-go, eventually defeating Marcos Giron in straight sets for his first tour win in about two months.
Speaking to the media in the aftermath of his victory, Dominic Thiem reiterated that he had been biding his time before making his comeback to competitive tennis. The Austrian claimed he couldn't return earlier because his style of play is not the kind that can function effectively at anything less than 100 percent
"For my game, I need 100 percent intensity and 100 percent energy," Thiem said. "I'm not the guy who can serve through a match or who can play with a little bit of intensity and still win. I'm just not that type of guy."
Dominic Thiem continued to stress on how he couldn't afford to let even a slight dip creep into his play. The Austrian also revealed he was far from his full powers at the Australian Open, the Doha Open and the Dubai Tennis Championships, which ultimately prompted him to take a break from the sport.
