I invited Federer, Nadal and Djokovic to my farewell party. Nobody has contacted me yet.

Dominic Thiem said during an interview with Heute

After his maiden US Open title, Thiem suffered a wrist injury the next year, and, as a consequence, he remained on the sidelines, which ended up affecting his rankings. His wrist injury was one of the reasons behind his announcing his retirement at the age of just 31.

I want to do less. I want to reduce my life, give something back to the planet.

Dominic Thiem told Heute 

When asked about his coaching career, Thiem said that he has “traveled enough” but may start to give his help from Austria. He wants to help the young players as much as he can so that they follow his path. For him, tennis is a “lonely sport” and so he enjoys playing football.
