Dominic Thiem and his girlfriend Kristina Mladenovic are an item for more than 2 years and they are enjoying great success this season. While the Frenchwoman has just won the WTA Finals in doubles (with Timea Babos) and the Fed Cup, her boyfriend has already clinched 5 titles this year and he is 1 step from winning the Finals in London where he will face Stefanos Tsitsipas.
Thiem, Mladenovic, and soccer
Like many other tennis players such as Rafale Nadal or Roger Federer, Dominic has a huge passion for soccer. He always regrets that he has no time to play the sport unless it’s off season’s time for tennis. Thiem was caught on camera practicing his football skills with tennis balls with great results like the video as below with Rafael Nadal.
Actually, his girlfriend, Kiki Mladenovic, is also rather skilled at playing soccer as per the following video published on Instagram. Impressing.
