Dominic Thiem can now also welcome Daniil Medvedev to the joint FIFA team with Dennis Novak & Co.

Christopher "Kasis" live talk every day at 6:00 pm on "tennisnetnews" on Instagram has already become a fixture in German-speaking tennis after a few days . The Austrian scene in particular gathers every evening with "conversation leader" Christopher Kas to talk about God and the world. Another constant like "Kasi" is Dennis Novak, who provides fans with updates from the joint FIFA team every day, in which Dominic Thiem is also involved. "Team manager" Dennis Novak has now dropped a bomb for this Friday: Since Thursday, Daniil Medvdev, another world-class player, has been involved in the virtual soccer game.

"He is by far the best FIFA player of ours," said Dennis Novak of the Russian newcomer. The proportion of tennis players in the team has also increased, in addition to Novak, Medvedev and Thiem, Mats Moraing is also part of the "kick" in the evening. Negotiations with Daniil Medvdev proved relatively easy, according to Dennis Novak. "Daniil wrote to me on Instagram, said he would be ready right away," Novak told Kasi. The Russian, who always causes controversy on the tennis court, is a "super nice guy and very relaxed outside the court".

"My heart is opening"

The game starts for the FIFA team between 8:30 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. every day. "Gambling" is then "until the bitter end, at 2:00 in the morning," said Novak. Austria's number two was also addressed to the kind words of his best friend Dominic Thiem, who said in the live talk on Wednesday: "I can live longer without tennis than without Dennis." And the Lower Austrian responded at least as kindly: "My heart is opening."
