Thiem, the 2020 US Open champion, delayed his return to tennis due to a hand injury and is now eyeing a comeback in Indian Wells in March.
It should be remembered that Dominic has not played a tournament since June due to a wrist injury and was unable to defend his title at Flushing Meadows last year. I had planned to play the Cordoba Open in Argentina this week, but had to give up after complaining of pain in the knuckles of his right hand.

In addition, the Austrian player reported that he will not be able to play the tournaments in South America this month: Argentina, Brazil and Chile.
“I had been training well in Vienna and I am very happy that I have fully recovered in my wrist,” Thiem said in a statement.
“Unfortunately, I suffered this little setback in Santiago (Chile), which has forced me to stop. Coming back after being away from the competition for seven months is never easy. I’m going to follow my doctor’s recommendations and, after resting for a couple of days, I’ll resume training next week. I need to spend some consistent time on a tennis court before I play again.”

Thiem will spend the next few weeks in Miami with a view to the tournament Indian Wells, which will start on March 7 and be in the best conditions to resume his career in style.
It should be remembered that the Austrian tennis player won his first title in a Masters 1000 event in 2019 by beating Roger Federer in the final, surprising more than one.
