Talking about New York first, Dominic said that he loved the energy of the city.

"I love coming back to this metropolis over and over again. I came to New York for the first time in 2010. My first thoughts were how crazy it is here. Of course, in a positive way. The energy of this city pushes you. I have seen many places here. From the Empire State Building to the Statue of Liberty – all these places look like in a movie, it seems unreal," Dominic Thiem said.

Next, Thiem shared some details about his experiences in Miami. He had met Gabe Norona for the first time when the Thiem family received an invitation to stay at his home during the Orange Bowl.

The two-time French Open runner-up also called Malibu a 'dream world' as many Hollywood celebrities reside in the city.

Dominic Thiem then revealed that he had never visited Las Vegas but really wished to see the 'casino world' of the city.

"I don't gamble, but I would love to see that crazy casino world. Nothing is normal there. To spend a few days in Las Vegas seems to be pure entertainment," Thiem said.

Lastly, the 27-year-old answered a question about whether he would consider shifting to the United States in the future.

"No, not at all. I enjoy being in America, but after some weeks I look forward to coming back to Europe and my home," the 2020 Australian Open finalist signed off.
