Well, he has now set his focus on the preparations for the 2022 season. He was scheduled to compete in the Mubadala World Tennis Championships but recently announced that he won’t be able to compete as he isn’t yet fit enough. Hopefully, the Austrian will be able to make his comeback as soon as possible.
