well wherever it is i just hope domi will play. i am kind of confused as to why he skips davis cup so often. is it something similar to why marion was so often out of fed cup? does he not want to work with a different coach?

Thiem is on bad terms with the Austrian federation, claiming they didn't uphold financial agreements made when he was younger, which resulted in a massive financial burden on his family.

okay, i see. still, he does have olympic aspirations so he'll have to put those feelings aside if he ever wants to go

actually you have to play 3 ties right? so does he not basically have to play every tie from now until the olympics to get in?

Dunno, but he already played once against Slovakia last year.

Edit: Yeah it's 3, so 2 more: http://www.itftennis.com/olympics/players/qualification.aspx

That's Austria. Dominic wanted to play in Kitzbühel, so they took Kitzbühel. Now Dominic won't play Davis Cup :facepalm:

Haider-Maurer can definitely beat anyone from the Dutch team on clay, so Austria has a realistic chance of winning this, regardless of Haase's succes in Kitzbühel in the past.
