He had already achieved his big goal of winning the title in Vienna after a rather poor performance last year. “I have fulfilled a childhood dream with it, this year I just want to play well and get as far as possible,” said the third in the world ranking a little deeply. He knows “the tournament is as good as never before.”
After all, he is only one of five top ten players on Vogelweidplatz. It would even have been seven if the Italian Mateo Berrettini and the Argentine Diego Schwartzman had not withdrawn at short notice. Incidentally, Thiem also played a role with Novak Djokovic, the first in the ranking then handed the Lower Austrian a check for the title at the Adria Cup. Thiem donated a large part of the money ($ 25,000) to the St. Anna Children’s Hospital. Today there is nothing to give away against Sachko. “I feel fit and fresh again.”
After the Thiem show, the Thiem documentary follows. Servus TV will bring the second part of the documentary “Thiem-Spirit” on Tuesday at 8:15 pm.
