One thing in advance: Dominic Thiem may have developed a certain, maybe even great, championship at Play Station. However, this primarily refers to the latest version of the FIFA games. How the Austrian will now perform in virtual tennis remains to be seen. The good news should Thiem enter the Madrid Virtual Open with full ambition: with John Isner he has caught a group opponent who claims to be not a "gamer". And David Ferrer comes from a generation that may not have dedicated itself as intensely to the Play Station controller.
Probably the most difficult opponent is buddy Diego Schwartzman, whom Thiem had had a good grip on the tennis court recently. Thiem has won the last three games against his buddy, such as in the final of the Erste Bank Open in Vienna. In real tennis life, Dominic Thiem is ahead with Diego Schwartzman with 6-2 wins.
In group one there will be a duel between Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray, but the favorite must be Edelzocker Gael Monfils. The Frenchman practices unconfirmed information from his girlfriend Elina Svitolina for several hours a day. Germany's number one Alexander Zverev was drawn in Group 4 with David Goffin, Karen Khachanov and Lucas Pouille.
