A lot going on at the weekend in Barcelona for Alexander Zverev and Dominic Thiem: First, the German number one was celebrated by the organizers on Saturday on the occasion of his 22nd birthday. And on this occasion he probably also thanked him for the late wildcard that was given to him in Catalonia.
The birthday present came a day later - although the big football fan Dominic Thiem (whose heart is known to love Chelsea FC) was perhaps even more happy about visiting Barcelona than Zverev. As a second sport, the latter would be more inclined towards basketball (by the way, FC Barcelona also proved to be a good address there).
In any case, Thiem and Zverev posed with Gerard Piquet, who is currently mixing up the Davis Cup with his Kosmos group. And also with Luis Suarez, the man who is responsible for scoring goals alongside Lionel Messi at FC Barcelona.
From the star striker from Uruguay it was a short way for Dominic Thiem to training, which the Lichtenwörther played with a big Chilean touch.
Dominic Thiem is the first opponent to expect the winner of the game between Yoshihito Nishioka and a qualifier / Lucky Loser. Hyeon Chung had to cancel his comeback again. Alexander Zverev definitely meets a qualifier.
