In Mexico City there will be another exhibition between two of the best tennis players in the world. On September 16, the Austrian Dominic Thiem and the Russian Andrey Rublev meet in the Arena Ciudad de Mexico, an event of the company “Tennis Showdown”.
During the presentation of the event, Thiem was present via Zoom and was happy to come to a country where he had already won the ATP 500 in Acapulco in 2017.
Dominic Thiem’s words about the exhibition in Mexico
“Yes, I really like coming to Mexico, I’ve been to junior tournaments in Mexico City and the Yucatan, I’ve been to Acapulco, people love tennis there, when Roger (Federer) was there against (Sascha) Zverev, it was unbelievable.
Mexicans know tennis, they love tennis, so it’s always a pleasure to play there, ”said the Austrian. “I’ve heard some things, I’m excited to be going back to Mexico, the last time I was in Acapulco was in 2018 and it was a long time.
I was in Mexico City for the last time in 2010, 11 years ago, so I wanted to return soon, ”added Thiem. About his rival, Russian Andrey Rublev, with whom he has a 2-3 record, Dominic said: “In my opinion he is one of the top three players in the world.
He’s got an incredible series. I’ve lost the last three games to him on the tour. I hope to get my revenge before I get to Mexico and if not, I’ll use this to improve my record against him. ”It is worth remembering that in November 2019 in the Plaza de Toros in Mexico City an exhibition took place that set a new fan record for a tennis match between Roger Federer and Alexander Zverev that was broken a few months later in South Africa.
The Arena Ciudad de Mexico is a venue north of Mexico City with a capacity for 22,300 spectators.
