One fan opined that Thiem's best days were behind him, comparing his return from injury to that of Nadal and Roger Federer. "I'm afraid Thiem's best days are behind him. He hasn't shown enough progress in the last 8 months. We have seen how the Top 3 bounded back from injuries, especially Rafa and Roger winning Slams and Masters 1000 right away," they wrote. Here are a few more reactions to Jez Green's comments: Thiem is a good player but I don't think he could beat them at their best... These guys are on another level Thiem is a good player but I don't think he could beat them at their best... These guys are on another level I agree . He couldn’t beat Rafa at his best when Rafa is healthy and fit. I don’t care about Djoker. Thiem could beat him for all I care. Only Rafa for me. I agree . He couldn’t beat Rafa at his best when Rafa is healthy and fit. I don’t care about Djoker. Thiem could beat him for all I care. Only Rafa for me. He lost the important matches though, for the most part. Lost 2 FO finals to Nadal and 1 AO final to Novak. He got Djokovic in the FO semi in 2019, but went on to lose to Nadal. US Open 2020 was compromised to say the least. He lost the important matches though, for the most part. Lost 2 FO finals to Nadal and 1 AO final to Novak.

As much as we're all waiting to see Thiem back at his best, his trainer is just putting a target on his back here.

I really like Thiem but the way he has performed in ALL these tournaments it seems that his better days are behind him. Hopeful thinking.
