Wimbledon 2021: Dominic Thiem Pulls Out Of Wimbledon With Injured Wrist

Wimbledon 2021: Dominic Thiem Pulls Out Of Wimbledon With Injured Wrist By Admin Dominic Thiem, reigning US Open champion has pulled out of Wimbledon and two other tournaments on Thursday due to an injury sustained in his right wrist, BSNSports.com.ng reports. Thiem would have been seeded No 4 at the All England Club, where main-draw action begins on Monday. The 27-year-old from Austria retired during the opening set of his first match at the Mallorca Open grass-court tuneup tournament this week, citing his wrist. Thiem then went to Barcelona for additional tests, which found what his management team said on Thursday is a "detachment of the posterior sheath of the ulnar side of the right wrist." Thiem will need to wear a wrist splint for five weeks before starting a rehabilitation program. He said he will sit out Wimbledon and tournaments at Hamburg, Germany, and Gstaad, Switzerland. The US Open starts in New York on August 30. He won his first Grand Slam title there last year by coming back from a two-set deficit to beat Alexander Zverev in a fifth-set tiebreaker in the final. Thiem has struggled in 2021, going just 9-9. He lost in the first round at the French Open last month.
