Dominic Thiem will host the THIEMs7 and here is more about the schedule, venue and players
Dominic Thiem has been a busy man since the restart of tennis after the Covid-19 break and will now host an exhibition tournament called THIEMs7 soon.
Thiem had earlier announced at the end of last month that he would be conducting an exhibition tournament similar to the one hosted by Novak Djokovic, the Adria Tour.
Thiem had won the first leg of the Adria Tour in Belgrade, Serbia. The Austrian is currently playing in Patrick Moutragolou’s innovative Ultimate Tennis Showdown (UTS).
The THIEMs7 invitational tournament will be played between July 7 and 11 in Kitzbuhel, Austria. The exhibition event carries a prize money of around 300,000 euros and will be conducted in the mode of the ATP finals (two groups, two group leaders in the semi-finals).
The five-day tournament will see a series of semi-finals and final played towards the end. Day by day schedule will be updated closer to the start of this tournament.
Joining local lad Thiem will be French star Gael Monfils, who has already confirmed his participation. Apart from the two, six others will also be seen in action at the THIEMs7 tournament.
Italian Matteo Berrettini, Russian Andrey Rublev, Karen Khachanov, Croatian Borna Coric, and Thiem’s countrymate Dennis Novak are other prominent names for the tournament while one more will soon be announced.
However, Coric’s participation could be in doubt. He tested positive for the coronavirus while playing at Djokovic’s Adria Tour recently.
The THIEMs7 event will be broadcast live online and on television and more information will soon be updated regarding TV streaming. If you are looking to watch tennis live streams, you can do so by signing up for Bet365.
