World No. 3 Dominic Thiem is known for his good looks, but he admits he has made some stylistic errors in the past; the Austrian called his blonde hairstyle from the year 2015 a 'fashion crime'. Thiem also believes his life changed completely the day he entered the top 10 of the ATP rankings.

During a recent interview with Organics Magazine, Dominic Thiem spoke candidly about his personal life and aspirations. He answered several rapid-fire questions on his daily life habits, while also explaining how his tennis background helps him remain composed during tense situations.

Dominic Thiem and his infamous blonde hair

Dominic Thiem's current hairstyle has been a trending topic during the coronavirus-enforced break from tennis. He bleached his hair in December 2019, and his frosted tips received mixed reviews from the tennis community. Fabio Fognini went as far as to comment that Thiem looked 'like a pineapple'.

Tennis Channel had launched a poll asking the tennis universe to pick which player between Thiem and Roger Federer did the blonde look better. In addition, ATP's official social media accounts had swapped the hairstyles of Novak Djokovic and Dominic Thiem, and the Serbian player thanked the admins for 'upgrading' his haircut.

Thiem had recently spoken about his hair routine during the lockdown period. He had even said he would need a stylist again soon, because he had messed up his hairstyle after being left to his own devices.

But before this recent 'frosty' experiment, Dominic Thiem had adopted an even deeper shade of blonde back in 2015. And when asked about his worst fashion crime while talking to Organics Magazine, the Austrian player was quick to recall that blunder.

"My fully blonde dyed hair from 2015," Thiem said in reply, without batting an eyelid.

Apart from that, Thiem confessed he has broken five tennis rackets in his career, but only three have been caught on camera. He also picked Leonardo DiCaprio as the celebrity he would love to meet once in his life.

The two-time French Open finalist even touched upon the topic of the environment and said that human beings need to rethink their habits. He argued that we must not consume meat twice or thrice in a day, and limit its consumption to only twice a week.
