A journey of Thiem around half the globe from “Down Under” to Argentina within a few days seems unlikely. However, the 28-year-old’s participation in Melbourne is not entirely ruled out.
It is also possible that he speculated with an early exit in Australia after his wrist injury and therefore added the tournament in Cordoba to his calendar. However, should he reach the second week of the Grand Slam, he could still cancel for Argentina afterwards.

However, Thiem had repeatedly emphasized in the recent past that he hoped to get back in shape in time for the French Open in Paris. Foregoing Melbourne and instead gathering match practice on clay at an early stage would be a possible scenario, according to “Krone”.

Despite his triumph in New York in September 2020, Roland Garros is Thiem’s favorite major. At the French Open, he reached the final in both 2018 and 2019.
