Austria’s Davis Cup team can fall back on Dominic Thiem in the home game once morest Portugal. The Austrian Tennis Association (ÖTV) announced this good news as well as the venue for the World Group I international match for a place in the 2024 qualifying round on Friday. Thiem and Co. welcome the guests on 15./16. September at the Multiversum in Schwechat. A hard court like that at the tournament in the Wiener Stadthalle will be played.
The ÖTV team lost 3-1 to the favorite Croatians in Rijeka at the beginning of February and is now hoping with a home win for the chance to qualify for the Davis Cup finals next year in the qualifying round.
The tennis association is happy regarding the Schwechat location with good connections to the public network. The capacity of the Multiversum is 2,106 spectators. Austria is the clear favorite with currently six top 200 players, the Portuguese have no man in the top 200 besides Nuno Borges (ATP 76th). Joao Sousa (formerly 28th) is currently only in position 258.
The Multiversum was the venue for the surprising home win of the ÖTV women in the Billie Jean King Cup over Latvia last November. ÖTV sports director and captain Jürgen Melzer is completely satisfied. The Lower Austrian was particularly pleased “that Dominic Thiem has already confirmed and I will probably be able to draw on the full as captain. There are also positive signals from all other top Austrian players that they will be available once morest Portugal.”
