Dominic Thiem has specific goals for his return to the ATP Tour after his wrist injury

But Thiem reassured his fans: “I have mild symptoms, I have a bit of a cold, a cough every now and then, a little tired. But all in all relatively mild.”

When he can return to the tour is still open. Participation in the Masters in Monte Carlo (April 9th ​​to 17th) is still in the stars, as the 28-year-old explained.

Dominic Thiem still lacks routine and training

“I have to see how I’m doing. I then had a break, didn’t do anything. If I’m negative and have the green light, I’ll start and see if it works out. If not, Belgrade (ab 18. April, Anm. d. Red.) the plan,” said Thiem.

He has the goal “that I can play for the biggest titles and win against everyone,” said the Austrian, who has meanwhile slipped to ATP rank 50, but who is above all happy that his long-injured wrist is pain-free.

However, after the long forced break, the routine in his game and the training are simply missing: “It’s these automatisms, hitting, moving on after a good shot. Playing 10, 15 good shots in a row, that’s all missing. The forehand isn’t there either where she was before.”
