World No. 5 Dominic Thiem took some time during the Mubadala World Tennis Championship in Abu Dhabi to learn some Arabic words and put his language skills to the test.

The Austrian had a solid weekend in the UAE capital, where he lost a tight match to Kevin Anderson on Friday before defeating Pablo Carreno Busta on Saturday.

Thiem is the top seed in Doha this week and will be targeting a maiden Grand Slam success at the Australian Open this month.
