The day of Tuesday 29 will mark the return to the competition of two great champions, the number 1 seed of the tournament and winner of the US Open 2020, Dominic Thiem, and the winner of three Grand Slam titles and former number 3 in the world , Stan Wawrinka. Two tennis players who have chosen the AnyTech365 Andalucía Open 2022 for their return to the courts after overcoming various injuries that have kept them away from the front line of world tennis. The Swiss, who has also celebrated his 37th birthday in Andalusia, will face the Swedish Elias Ymer in the second shift of the central; while the Austrian will face off against the Argentine Pedro Cachin (not before 1:30 p.m.). The Manolo Santana track will also see the debut of Pablo Andujar (3) against Andrea Pellegrino, while in the women's draw the matches stand out: Ana Bogdan-Donna Vekic and Clara Burel-Andrea Lazaro García. Other important events of the day will be the confrontation between Sara Errani and Arantxa Rus (4), Kristina Mladenovic against Martina Trevisan (7) and the start of the other two Spanish favorites for the final victory: Roberto Carballes Baena (5) against Nikola Milojevic and Jaume Munar (6) in front of Alexander Shevchenko. Speaking to Eurosport, Mats Wilander remarked that the extended rest could turn out to be a good thing for Novak Djokovic's mind and body.

Nole has played only three matches in 2022

Seven-time Grand Slam champion Mats Wilander is of the opinion that Novak Djokovic will be the favorite at the French Open this year, especially if he gets a few matches under his belt in the lead-up tournaments. "[Novak Djokovic] is going to be well rested in his mind, in his heart. Physically, he has been able to set up his training schedule perfectly, at least in the way that he would want to," Wilander said. "Of course, he would have liked to play more matches, but if he gets to three tournaments and maybe [plays] 10 to 15 matches, he goes into Roland Garros as maybe the favorite to win the tournament.” In 2022, Rafael Nadal and Djokovic are yet to play in the same tournament as the World No. 3 played in Acapulco during the Serb's participation in Dubai. “So hopefully we can get all three of them back healthy in the right state of mind. And just for one tournament, I'd like to see the three of them play again," Wilander said. "That's going to be the biggest tournament of all time in the history of professional tennis."
