Sebastian Ofner fights for the comeback: renovation of the heel lasts!
The Australian Open, the first big tennis event of the year, will start in Australia. But the anticipation is clouded by the painful waiver of Austrian players in the men's singles. Sebastian Ofner, the 28-year-old Styrian, is currently on his heels in rehabilitation after several operations. Its important objective for 2025 is to "complete in the top 100", despite the challenges that his injuries give him. In an interview with the APA, Ofner reports that he is making the first progress: "The pain on the left heel has improved," said the former French Open round of ulcer, who already felt a noticeable plus of mobility in the first week.Ofner's struggle for comeback
Ofner, who fights health setbacks in his career, had already suffered a similar injury in 2021 and had failed for seven months. This week, three training sessions on the pitch are positive news, even if quick change of direction is still problematic. The pain at the Haglundferse, which led to his operations, remains a risk. "I hope not to have to have any further interventions until my career ends," said Ofner his hope for stability, while training and competition routine should come back into focus.
The Australian Open will remain an important tournament in the tennis world. In recent years, numerous top players, such as Novak Djokovic and Rafa Nadal, have triumphed there. In 2024, the spectators cheered the Italian player Jannik Sinner, who defeated Daniil Medvedev and secured the title. These successes underline the importance of the tournament, which has been held since 1905, and the top -class competition it offers. However, the Austrian tennis landscape in Melbourne will experience a setback through Ofner's absence. Ofner can only follow the matches from a distance and hopes to be back next year if his rehab is doing well. The challenges that the injury brings with it are at the top of his agenda while concentrating on the fight back in the top 100.
