Before a possible direct duel: Wawrinka and Thiem show their hearts in the autism house

1/4
Nice gesture from Stan Wawrinka (l.) and Dominic Thiem, who visited autistic children in Astana.

This week the ATP 250 tournament takes place in the Kazakh capital Astana. If both win their first game, Stan Wawrinka (38, ATP 47) and Dominic Thiem (28, ATP 81) will meet in the round of 16. However, the two tennis stars met off the court beforehand.

The Lausanne resident and the Austrian visited a home for autistic children together. The athletes played, did crafts and laughed with them. Wawrinka quickly became a target for Velcro arrows – the boys and girls liked it.

A nice gesture from two world stars. The sympathy that both already enjoy from professional colleagues and fans around the world is likely to grow even further. And if the direct match between the two Grand Slam winners actually takes place in Astana, it should also receive more attention in the Middle Eastern country. (ch)
