Dominic Thiem canceled his trip to Rome after his second-round defeat a week ago in qualifying for the Masters 1000 tournament in Madrid against Thanasi Kokkinakis (AUS). It would be possible to play at the ATP tournament in Geneva before Paris. But only if the 30-year-old from Lower Austria receives a wildcard for Roland Garros.
Moritz Thiem confirmed this on Tuesday. The all-clear has been given by Austria’s number 1, Sebastian Ofner, who was last eliminated in round one in Madrid and was physically weak. “Ofi had problems with his neck, it was a bit sore. Now he’s doing well again,” explained the Thiem manager.
Ofner’s appearance at the Foro Italico in Rome (from May 8th) is certain, and he may play before the French Open in Geneva. In Paris, last year’s round of 16 will of course be in the main competition. Thiem is preparing for his next assignment in Traiskirchen and Oberpullendorf.
