Dominic Thiem and Juan Martin Del Potro to Kick-Start Their Comeback Together in Argentina

The 2022 ATP tour will witness a series of comebacks, especially by those who had to retire midway from this year’s season owing to injuries. Two important players that are expected to bounce back include Dominic Thiem and Juan Martin del Potro.

With Dominic Thiem missing this year’s comeback at the Mubadala World Tennis Championship as he was not fully fit to play, Del Potro posted a few photographs of him stepping on a tennis court for practice sessions.

Even though the Argentinian didn’t confirm his comeback tournament, he sure expressed a desire to make his ATP entry at the clay-court event in Buenos Aires.

The tournament is ready to give a wild-card to Del Potro but it all depends on how match-fit he will be next year. This ATP 250 level event starts is scheduled to take place in March next year.

Alongside Del Potro, Thiem was also committed to play the Argentina event. The Austrian had pulled out of the ATP Cup and raised concerns over his Australian Open participation.

Even though Thiem mentioned the desire to make it to the ‘happy slam’, there are slim chances of him flying back again to Melbourne. Red-dirt will be the perfect surface for the Austrian’s comeback. Also, Thiem won Buenos Aires in 2016 and 2018.

In a message shared on Twitter, the 2020 US Open winner mentioned about the impending decision on his Melbourne participation, and that he’ll make it known by month-end.

“My aim is still to play the Australian Open but we will make a final decision about my participation by the end of December”. 

If things are as planned for the two players, fans might get to witness Dominic Thiem and Juan Martin del Potro make their comeback at the ATP 250 clay-court event in Buenos Aires.
