Dominic Thiem is already beginning to see the light after a 2021 season that has been a real nightmare for him due to injuries, especially after the wrist injury he suffered last June at the Mallorca Championships which made him resign for the second half of the season.

I am very nervous. It has been a long time without picking up a racket. and honestly, I missed him. “
