Dominic Thiem qualified for the main competition in Brisbane. And in the preparation tournament for the Australian Open, the Lower Austrian superstar Rafael Nadal meets.
The year ended on a positive note for Dominic Thiem. The Lower Austrian mastered the qualification in Brisbane, defeated the Italian Giulio Zeppieri 3:6, 6:4, 6:4 in the second qualifying match and thus secured a place in the top-class main field. A hit awaits immediately: Thiem meets Rafael Nadal, who is celebrating his comeback after an almost year-long break due to a hip injury.
The Spaniard, 37, is fine with that; he won nine of 15 matches against Thiem. Nadal is in 670th place in the world rankings and starts down under thanks to a wild card. The Austrian is currently No. 98 in the world.
