Who Are Dominic Thiem’s Parents?

Thiem was born into a family of tennis players. His parents were both tennis coaches. His younger brother is also a tennis professional. It was his father who coached him when he was just 9.

Wolfgang and Karin Thiem are Dominic’s parents. In what has worked well for the Austrian, his parents were tennis coaches, which is why he was introduced to tennis very early in his life.

In 1997, Dominic’s father moved to Vienna and joined Gunter Bresnik’s academy. Bresnik started formally coaching Thiem when he was 9 years old. He went on to coach him for quite a long time until they split in 2019.

As you would expect, Thiem’s parents had to invest a lot in helping him have a successful career. In fact, the expenses were so high at one time that Wolfgang expressed he feels sorry for parents of players who are just starting out.

“When I meet parents whose children are at the beginning of their career, I feel sorry for them. They do not know what to expect. You just have no idea how much it costs.”

In addition to expenses, Dominic’s parents had to make the hard decision of pulling him out of school. His father explained his reason for doing so.

“A tennis career and school are incompatible. The school system does not allow a tennis career. The people in charge have no idea how time-consuming it is.”
