Thiem, born in the Austrian city of Wiener Neustadt 28 years ago, it was showcased in Buenos Aires with his triumphs in 2016 over Rafael Nadal in the semifinals and Nicolas Almagro in the final, then in 2018 he raised the trophy again after beating the Slovenian Aljaz Bedene and in 2019 he fell in “semis” with Diego Schwartzman.
The Austrian was inactive during the second half of the year after having injured his right wrist (he had surgery) and planned to return this week in an exhibition at Abu Dhabi, but he must have postponed it because he is not fully restored.
“I was looking forward to getting back to tennis in Abu Dhabi, but I feel like I’m not ready to compete at the highest level yet. It’s disappointing that I can’t play this year, but I need to continue my preparation for next season.”, wrote Thiem in Twitter.
The Argentina Open, which will go for its 22nd. edition and had as champion this year Diego Schwartzman, will be announced next Monday at a press conference in a hotel in the Retiro area, and the big announcement that the organizers would make would be the presence of the native of Tandilense Juan Martin del Potro.
Del Potro, inactive for two and a half years due to an injury to the right kneecap that led to four surgeries, played only once in the Argentina Open, in the 2006 edition when he was 17 years old and lost in the opening round to a specialist on brick dust, the Spanish Juan Carlos Ferrero placeholder image.
The Tandilense, former world number three and currently relegated by his long inactivity to position 755, plans to return in Buenos Aires and then play the ATP 500 of Rio de Janeiro.
