Domninic Thiem and Moritz Thiem : Both play tennis, both are currently in Kitzbühel and share a room at the Stanglwirt. And Moritz is particularly bothered by Dominic's taste in music. He likes listening to pop music and Moritz doesn't like that at all.
"Yes, he really likes hearing that, because our taste doesn't really meet. If we sleep in the same room - as here in Kitzbühel - and he turns up Schlager, then I leave the room," explains Moritz in the Kleine Zeitung .
Moritz Thiem is not yet as far as Dominic at 20
In Kitzbühel, Moritz plays in a double with Dominic's coach Nicolas Massu . However, his goal is not to advance his double career, but rather to gain more and more footing in the individual. Moritz is 19 years old, Dominic's career really started at the age of 20. Moritz doesn't see himself as far as Dominic back then.
"Dominic really started when he was 20 years old. Physically, I am not as advanced as he was then," said Moritz Thiem, who still wants to give himself time. "I'm still giving myself time, and the great happiness in my environment is that everyone supports me in playing tennis and I don't feel any pressure." It is clear to him that he still has to hang in 100 percent.
Koch as Plan B for Moritz Thiem
And if it doesn't work out with my tennis career, Moritz has a plan B. Of course it would be nice if I could make it into the top 100, but I have to see where I can go. If I can't do it, I can well imagine starting an apprenticeship abroad. "
