At the Interwetten Tennis Talk as part of the Generali Open in Kitzbühel, the tennis celebrities had given the door handle into the hand. Tournament Director Alexander Antonitsch, who is flanked by ServusTV and Eurosport expert Barbara Schett and Austria's Davis Cup captain Stefan Koubek, is the focus of attention for all three issues. After that, double ace Alexander Peya took plenty of time for the Interwetten Tennis Talk, the final chord was set by Wolfgang Thiem.
The father of Austrian number one Dominic Thiem could not have guessed that his son should win an ATP tournament on home soil a few hours later for the first time. In an emotional final against Albert Ramos-Vinolas, who had shown extremely strong clay court tennis in the weeks before. Wolfgang Thiem led the Interwetten Tennis Talk but also a second aspect of the possible home win in the race: Finally Dominic would not be able to defend his 250 points won in St. Petersburg due to participation in the Laver Cup, as would come Kitzbühel victory quite well.
Dominic Thiem annoyed Stefan Koubek
Stefan Koubek, in turn, explained how much the little Dominic had once tormented him in the Südstadt. Rest breaks would not have known or accepted the current number five in the world, not even a short nap for him, Koubek, would have been. Koubek was not able to sleep well in Espoo at the Davis Cup a few weeks ago, but Dominic Thiem contributed one of three points to the Austrians' victory over Finland.
Now bet on the Erste Bank Open in Vienna - with the best odds at Interwetten.
Finally, Barbara Schett confirmed in the Interwetten Tennis Talk her prediction that Dominic Thiem would be in the foreseeable future of the absolute top of the ATP world rankings. And was even willing to make a bet. The way there is still far - with his tournament victory in Beijing, the Austrian number one but once again underlined that it can be expected on all surfaces. This is also the case with the Erste Bank Open, which starts next Monday in the Wiener Stadthalle. There Thiem will be in the first position after the cancellation of Danill Medvedev and meet Jo-Wilfried Tsonga ( with quota 1,55 for Thiem ). Thiem will try the historic double strike: the victory in both Austrian ATP tournaments. And that within a year.
