Dominic Thiem has found himself in a bit of trouble in his second round match with Robin Haase at Halle today. But the Austrian is doing everything he can to right the ship, and if it means he has to sacrifice his body in the process, that’s fine.Check out Thiem’s perfect execution of a dive volley here in the third game of the second set. He may be one of the world’s best clay-courters but that doesn’t mean the World No.8 isn’t enthusiastic about grass.But he still has his work cut out for him—he trails Haase 6-3, 4-4 in set two.
