Ofner's comeback plan
“Otherwise I don’t need to fly to Australia”
We have known for two days that Sebastian Ofner will have to end his tennis season early. After recurring pain in his left foot, an operation is unavoidable. In the krone.tv sports talk with Martin Grasl, the 28-year-old talks about the gradual process of the injury, his results in 2024, Dominic Thiem's US Open farewell and his plan to return to the tour.
Comeback 2025 without pressure
The surgery on his left foot is scheduled for September 13, after which it will be two to three months before Ofner can return to the court. Regardless of the recovery process, it is clear to him that he would rather take his time than rush things. "Otherwise I won't need to fly to Australia," clarifies "Ofi", who wants to train for at least four to five weeks before the first Grand Slam tournament.
In the meantime, he still wants to use the phase to develop further in some areas. The infamous "come back stronger" mentality should help him to be able to play effectively at ATP level again next year.
