Dominic Thiem explained why he chose his standard Domi nickname as his UTS nickname and the reason why he will win the event.

The Ultimate Tennis Showdown is a fascinating event in many aspects. They have created a new format that is both innovative and entertaining. They created promotional videos for every player where they explained the reasoning behind their nicknames and why they should win the title.

Dominic Thiem chose a nickname that is known to everyone. Domi as he popularly called explained the backstory of his nickname. Obviously it was chosen to resemble dominance and not because he is named Dominic. The reason why he chose it for this event is that he wanted as he put it something efficient and clean just like his groundstrokes. Then he explained his deadly combination: a kick serve like an unfurling wave and his topspin forehand which he described as uncontrollable.

Thiem also praised his backhand which he compared to a penguin by saying: "Ice cold like a penguin." He also announced that his mother will be getting a new tattoo because he is going to win the Ultimate Tennis Showdown. If you didn't know his mother gets a new tattoo every time Domi wins a title. Well, let's see if he will keep his word.
