Dominic Thiem is set to make a return to Indian Wells for the first time since 2019 after getting a wild card entry.
Thiem has not played in Indian Wells since 2019 with this year being the first time he will make a return there. He became champion in 2019 but much like the US Open, Thiem never got the chance to defend his title.
Now, after the pandemic has subsided and the injury healed, Thiem will get a chance to make a return to the courts.
Hello Indian Wells! Today I received the great message that I will get a wild card for the 2023 BNP Paribas Open. It’s unbelievable news for me as it’s a tournament I love and it’s going to be the first time I played there since I won the tournament in 2019. So looking forward to seeing you all there. Thank you!
