In recent years, rising tennis star Dominic Thiem has emerged as a real force in the men’s game. Amongst the new set of players, he has displayed growth with each season passing by and even won his first Grand Slam title at the US Open last season.
The Austrian ace has teamed up with Red Bull and created the ‘Red Bull Thiem, Set, Match’. It is an exhibition event for men and women to showcase their talent in tennis. In 2020, the event hosted its inaugural edition and was played across six different venues in Austria.

The rules are different from the normal game. Matches are played in short sets, which consist of four games and a tie-break at 3-3. Players playing an attacking game, hitting winners are rewarded with double points. The winners of the event will get a chance to practice with the Austrian star himself.
The whole concept of the event is to combine fun and seriousness. To promote youngsters into the game is the primary objective. It is an innovative idea and something different from what has been conducted over the years. In its first edition last year, over 400 men and women enrolled themselves to compete against each other.
