Dominic Thiem outlines his ATP Fantasy picks and strategy ahead of the season’s second major.
\n By ATP Staff<\/p>\n

The season\u2019s second major has arrived and Dominic Thiem<\/a> has a few names firmly on his radar for ATP Fantasy selections.<\/p>\n

At the top of that list is Jannik Sinner<\/a>. The Italian recently completed the Career Golden Masters in Rome and is now chasing a Career Grand Slam.<\/p>\n

\"\u201cATP<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe last weeks and months of Jannik have been amazing,\u201d Thiem said. \u201cTo complete the Career Masters at such a young age is incredible and an unbelievable achievement. That\u2019s why I think everybody has to get him on their team, as he is also a high favourite for the title. I would recommend to everybody to put him on the team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thiem has made a new addition to his ATP Fantasy squad, selecting a player who, like himself, has twice reached the final in Paris.<\/p>\n

\u201cI put Casper Ruud<\/a> in my team now because he\u2019s playing in Geneva. He\u2019s in very good form recently, reached the final in Rome,\u201d said Thiem. \u201cNow he\u2019s playing well in Geneva.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former No. 3 in the PIF ATP Rankings believes tennis fans will see big things from a #NextGenATP star who is seeded in his first appearance at the clay-court major.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the clay-court season, I\u2019m most impressed by Rafa Jodar,\u201d said Thiem. \u201cHe started the clay-court season with a title and then confirmed that great form in Madrid and Rome, and in Barcelona as well. He\u2019s an unbelievable hot take. I\u2019m very confident that he will have a great journey [in Paris] as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

What other moves would Thiem advise?<\/p>\n

\u201cI still have to check my budget, but one of Novak [Djokovic] or Sascha [Zverev], I would also put,\u201d Thiem added. \u201cThen I think I would have a very solid lineup.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ATP Fantasy Thiem’s Tips: Select Sinner & his ‘unbelievable hot take’ in ATP Fantasy Two-time finalist in Paris…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":686608,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[442],"tags":[49,48,82,593],"class_list":["post-686607","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/686607","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=686607"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/686607\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/686608"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=686607"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=686607"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=686607"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
