Get Ready to Witness the Thiem Comeback!

After hanging up his tennis shoes for a minute, Austrian tennis sensation Dominic Thiem (31) is gearing up to make a staggering comeback. This time, Thiem isn't chasing Grand Slam titles—he's taking part in an exhilarating team exhibition event titled "Legends Team Cup."

This heart-pumping event features three teams of five players each, resulting in each team duking it out against the other two teams twice. Thiem teams up with Carlos Moya's "Team Moya," competing at various locations worldwide.

Thiem's Return to the Court:

Keep your calendars updated, as Thiem will first appear from July 16 to 18 in the electrifying UBS Arena in New York. Facing Team Philippoussis, he'll join forces with Diego Schwartzman (ARG), Fernando Verdasco (ESP), the legendary Mike Bryan (USA), and Philipp Kohlschreiber (GER). The competition will be fierce, with Juan Carlos Ferrero (ESP), Marcos Baghdatis (CYP), Radek Stepanek (CZE), Bob Bryan (USA), and Tommy Robredo (ESP) on the opposing team.

As you might expect, Thiem's been under the weather lately; he's only picked up a racket occasionally in recent months and loses fitness quickly when he's not fully training. Therefore, we can't wait to see Thiem's rejuvenated games and the fresh flavor his comeback brings to tennis.

Before this epic face-off, Team Mark Philippoussis and Team James Blake will clash from June 12 to 14 on the exquisite tennis paradise of the French Caribbean island of St. Barts. The opposing team comprises Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (FRA), Tommy Haas (GER), Feliciano Lopez (ESP), Sam Querrey (USA), and David Ferrer (ESP).

Although our searches didn't reveal any recent news about Thiem's participation in a Legends Team Cup or comeback, it's always thrilling to anticipate a veteran's return to the game we all love. So, we'll keep a close eye on updates and official announcements. Stay tuned!
