Thiem could return to sporting blonde tips in his hair: "It's possible that it comes again very soon"

Dominic Thiem played some of his best tennis when he sported blonder tips in his hair and he teased that they might be coming back as a good luck charm.

Thiem has struggled with his tennis ever since coming back from a wrist injury and he seems open to try out the unconventional things that kind of worked in the past. The Austrian joked about bringing has his iconic haircut from a few years ago. It was at a time when his tennis was the best he ever played so perhaps the haircut was the reason for it:

"I played very well with those blonde tips. I am thinking about it constantly and everytime when I am at the hairdresser, I am thinking about it, 'Should I tell to the hairdresser, or shouldn't I?' It's constantly on the edge, you know, to get it back and I cannot promise it 100%, but it's possible that it comes again very soon."

He added:

"The first time I did it and I was completely blonde, I won Umag and Gstaad, and the last time I was blonde, I played Australian Open finals, so I’m always playing well with the blonde hair."

Time will tell whether Thiem brings the blonde back and whether it has any effect.
