Dominic Thiem will compete in the Millennium Estoril Open for the first time after accepting a wild card into the ATP 250 clay-court event, which will take place from 25 April-1 May. He announced the news on social media:

“Hello everyone, I wanted to let you know that recovery of COVID is going well and I’ll be ready to compete again in a few days. As a matter of fact, I would like to thank the Millennium Estoril Open for the invitation and wild card to play the event this year in Cascais. I’ve heard great things about the event and I am looking forward to coming to Portugal to play and to start my comeback. Thank you.”
