the Austrian Dominic Thiem2020 US Open champion, assured today that he is confident that he will be fit to play the 2023 Davis Cup qualifying round against Croatia next February, and hopes to be 100% ready to play the australia tomorrow which will take place next January.

“If everything goes well, I will play in Croatia,” the 29-year-old tennis player said in a media meeting via videoconference.

The player said that he “really wants” to participate in this competition and that, despite the fact that Croatia appears as favorites, he will play and hopes to “contribute to achieving a sensation”.

The tennis player is in full preparation for the next season, both on the court and in the gym, to recover from a serious injury.

Thiem returned to the court in April after missing ten months due to wrist problems.

Subsequently, he had to withdraw from playing at Wimbledon in June.

The Austrian player, who became number three in world tennis, is ranked 106th in the ATP ranking. For now, he will participate in exhibition tournaments starting Monday at Saudi Arabia and then on “Exhibition World Tennis League” in Dubai.

His great goal, reports the APA agency, is to reach the Austrian Open at 100% of his capacity, although it remains to be seen if in his current position in the ATP he can enter the main competition.

“It will be difficult in the direct main competition. If it is not possible, I hope there will be a wild card,” he said.

The player has not set an ATP ranking goal for 2023, but he does have a goal of being seeded at the French Open.

After Australia and Croatia, Thien plans to participate in tournaments in Buenos Aires and Santiago de Chile.
