'The only thing we are missing is the huge success,' says 2020 US Open winner Dominic Thiem.

US Open champion Dominic Thiem admitted Monday, September 28, that he faces a stiff challenge to keep tennis high up in the public consciousness once Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic call it quits.in New York with a breathtaking five-set win over Alexander Zverev earlier this month, the first major final in 6 years not to feature at least one of the 'Big Three'.Both Federer and Nadal opted not to play the US Open while Djokovic was disqualified in the last 16.

"I guess we have to build it up like they did. I think there is a chance to do it, but it comes automatically with a lot of success. That's our challenge to do. " "I guess that there are less viewers or less interest if Roger, Rafa, and Novak are not there much. It's normal, because as I said, they are global superstars, and I hope we are on the way there."

Thiem has finished runner-up to 12-time French Open winner Nadal, 34, at the last two Roland Garros finals.
