Barbara Haas struggles
End of Thiem’s career: “I’m not surprised!”
Barbara Haas, Austria's former number one in tennis, is not yet thinking about the end of her own career, although the 28-year-old has been struggling with a wrist and shoulder injury for a long time. However, she can understand Dominic Thiem's decision and why he didn't make it back.
"I had to stand in for a player due to a personal emergency, I hadn't actually planned to play," says Barbara Haas, Austria's former number one, about her comeback to the tennis court. The 28-year-old was beaten 6:4, 4:6 and 4:10 by Leonie Rabl in Team OÖ's 5:2 win in Weigelsdorf.
Not yet in optimal condition
How did it feel for the Linz native, who has been battling a wrist and shoulder injury since 2021? "It's better, but it's not in the best condition yet, I can still feel the shoulder," says Haas, whose fall is somehow reminiscent of Dominic Thiem. The superstar was never really able to fight his way back after a wrist injury and is now ending his career in the fall.
"Knows how difficult it is"
"I'm not surprised that it turned out like this. I know from my own experience how difficult it is to come back after such an injury," says the police trainee. What does this realization mean for her career? "The end is not an issue for me, my goal is to come back. I'm training, keeping fit and making sure my body is in top condition again. And then we'll just keep looking."
