5 Players to watch out for in the London Masters

#1 Dominic Thiem

Rolex Paris Masters - Day Five

Dominic Thiem is considered to be the next superstar in Tennis circles. The 25-year-old produced some decent performances this year by winning the Lyon open in May and finished runner-up in the Madrid Open in the same month losing to Alexander Zverev in the finals. The Austrian also finished runner-up against Rafael Nadal in the French Open last month.

He also won the Argentina Open in February by beating Aljaz Bedene of Slovenia in the finals with a 6-2, 6-4 scoreline. He also won the St Petersburg Open in Russia in September by beating Martin Klizan of Slovakia with a 6-3, 6-1 scoreline. He also made it to the semi-finals of the Paris Open this month. Thiem's destructive forehands combined with his solid groundstrokes can trouble any opponent.

Thiem possesses tremendous accuracy while hitting the baselines. His quick groundstrokes have outdone many opponents, while his top spins are quite effective during the run of play. Thiem’s calmness helps him during pressure situations, which the Austrian had said helps him focus whenever he plays a tricky opponent. His single-handed backhands have always been his main strength.
