Thiem is on a comeback following a long battle with injuries, and the Austrian is slowly regaining the form and confidence that has seen him reach the final at Roland Garros.

Also receiving a wildcard at the event is trailblazer Abedallah Shelbayh, who became the first Jordanian tennis player to achieve an ATP world ranking. The 19-year old currently sits at World No.267, and has the potential to be a fan favorite.

Both men will join three-time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka and Spanish teenager Martin Landaluce, who were also granted wildcard entries to the event.
