Optimistic Thiem seeks Challenger points

Dominic Thiem will bear down on his goal of returning inside the ranking Top 100 by the end of this season, with the former Grand Slam champion set to play a late-season Challenger event.

The 29-year-old Austrian who won the US Open in 2020 before a wrist injury in June of last season, will mix and match his schedule to try and maximise his point-earning potential.

To that end, the No. 132 who reached a summer Gstaad final and last week’s semi-final in Gijon has made an entry into the Bratislava Challenger from November 7 in the Slovak Republic.

The minor event will be added to a full calendar which already includes Tour events in his hometown of Vienna next week ,followed by the Paris Bercy Masters.
