Special award
Alaba honors Thiem: “This means a lot to me!”
Dominic Thiem will receive a lot of applause just a few weeks before his final serve in the Wiener Stadthalle. The former world number three and US Open winner will receive the Special Award for his career on Thursday at the LOTTERIEN Sporthilfe Gala, where he will be presented with the trophy by David Alaba.
"This means a lot to me, it's an incredible honor to receive a Special Award. It also means that I've had a good career. I'm also incredibly happy that David is going to present it to me. He himself is one of the best athletes the country has ever had. An incredibly nice guy and a friend of mine."
Alaba: "Thiem's career is unique"
Alaba himself has won the Sportsman of the Year award three times, but has never attended the award ceremony himself. "It is a special honor for me to present Dominic with the Special Award. His career is unique and has made a huge impression on me. Dominic is a world-class athlete and has more than earned this special award," Alaba was quoted as saying in a press release.
Before the gala, the Real Madrid player and paracycling athlete Thomas Frühwirth will immortalize his hand and footprints on the Street of Winners.
