The injury forced him to withdraw from Wimbledon, the Tokyo Olympics, and Masters 1000 events in Toronto and Cincinnati. His participation at the US Open, where he is the defending champion, is also in doubt.
In a recent interview with tennisnet.com, the 27-year-old’s coach and father Wolfgang Thiem spoke about the Austrian’s recovery. According to Wolfgang, Dominic Thiem returned to training a few weeks ago and is motivated to start playing competitive tennis once again.
Wolfgang Thiem, however, said he would not set a timeframe for his son’s return to competitive action.
Dominic Thiem begins training ahead of potential US Open title defence
Dominic Thiem’s right wrist was in a splint for six weeks following his injury in Mallorca. But going by his latest post on Twitter, the Austrian seems to have begun training with the racket once again in order to be fit in time for the US Open.
Thiem is the defending champion at Flushing Meadows, having beaten Alexander Zverev in a thrilling five-set final last year for his maiden Grand Slam trophy.
