After his appearance at the Generali Open Kitzbühel, the anticipation of the ÖTV star at the LAYJET-OPEN is growing.
The week before last, Dominic Thiem wowed the audience at the ATP tournament in Kitzbühel with spectacular performances and his advance into the final. From September 17th to 24th, 2023, the US Open Champion 2020 will be in action at the LAYJET-OPEN in Bad Waltersdorf and is once once more relying on the support of the fans at the ATP 125 Challenger tournament in the Sportaktivpark, which is endowed with 145,000 euros. This can be seen in a video message from the Lower Austrian. “I’m really looking forward to playing in Bad Waltersdorf this year. Tournaments in Austria are always something very, very special. I hope that as many people and fans as possible will come to support me and all other Austrians. I’m looking forward to seeing you – see you soon,” said Thiem, who literally shook the stadium in Kitzbühel in his semi-final triumph once morest the Serb Laslo Djere when he still had the game to himself following defending five match points in a highly dramatic tie-break of the third set decided.
The week before last “once once more impressively showed the euphoria Dominic Thiem can spark among the fans. He will also be able to count on the full support of the audience at the LAYJET-OPEN”, tournament director Peter Westner is convinced. “Dominic Thiem delivered sensational matches in Kitzbühel. This has increased the anticipation of his appearances in Bad Waltersdorf,” explained STTV President Barbara Muhr. “It is a great honor that Dominic Thiem, an international superstar, will play at the first edition of the LAYJET-OPEN. With his participation, he ensures that the tournament will attract attention and attention far beyond the domestic borders,” emphasized LAYJET Managing Director Rainer Dunst.
Other domestic and international top players are also expected
In addition to Thiem, with Sebastian Ofner, Jurij Rodionov, Filip Misolic, Dennis Novak and Lukas Neumayer, all other top local players are expected in Bad Waltersdorf. In addition, the first reports of the international competition are arriving. That’s what the German Maximilian Marterer called the LAYJET-OPEN. The current world number 133. reached the third round of the Grand Slam highlight in Wimbledon this year and a little later won the Challenger tournament in Amersfoort, Netherlands, without losing a set. In addition to Marterer, Rudolf Molleker (ATP 266) is another German on the provisional entry list. This also applies to the 20-year-old Spanish talent Pablo Llamas Ruiz (ATP 146), who has a tournament win at the Challenger, which took place in Segovia (Spain) at the end of July, on his business card.
