Opelka’s Injury Woes and Thiem’s Defeat in Brisbane: Australian Open Preparations in Jeopardy

Opelka has been injured for months and has already had to cancel the preparatory tournaments in Australia. In 2023, the former world number 17 only played one game.

Thiem recently lost at the ATP tournament in Brisbane against tennis star Rafael Nadal (5:7, 1:6), who celebrated his comeback in Australia.

“If I play the main competition straight away, then I still have a few days of training where I want to further develop my game and improve the weaknesses that were shown to me today,” said the world number 98. after the game. The Austrian tennis star now has a few more days to improve his weaknesses for the first Grand Slam tournament of the new year.
