Austrian champions of winter disciplines, Kitzbuehel and ... tennis.
Well yes, thanks to the initiative of Dominic Thiem, the star of the racket in the country, No. 3 in the world and finalist both at the last Australian Open and at the Roland Garros, today "Thiem''s will end Seven ”, an exhibition tournament featuring seven world-class tennis players, with a prize pool of 100 thousand euros for the winner.
Tournament obviously closed to the public, waiting for the ATP event on the red earth of Kitzbuehel to be staged probably in early September ("it will also depend on the cancellation or not of the US Open," said the tournament director yesterday); in the grandstand and then in the middle zone for the retreat interviews, however, there were two protagonists of the snow world such as Anna Veith and Dominik Landertinger, both of whom withdrew from the competition in the past weeks.
"It is always a great show to see a game of this level play, even if it is a performance," said the Olympic champion and winner of two World Cups, which since the announcement of last May 23 he is dedicating to activities related to his image.
For the record, Thiem won yesterday's semifinal with Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut and "Dominator" now awaits in the final today (scheduled at 4 pm, weather permitting) the winner of the challenge between Matteo Berrettini and Andrey Rublev, interrupted several times yesterday due to rain, with the Russian ahead 6-4 2-1 against the blue.
