Dominic Thiem announced his withdrawal from Wimbledon on Thursday due to a right wrist injury suffered during his Tuesday match at the Mallorca Championships.
“I’m going to do whatever the doctors say to recover as quickly as possible,” Thiem said. “I was informed that I could be out for several weeks, but I will do my best to get back on the court soon.”
Tests in Barcelona found that the Austrian star has a “detachment of the posterior sheath on the ulnar side of the right wrist.” He will wear a splint for five weeks and Dr. Angel Ruiz Cotorro and his team will monitor Thiem’s progress.
The 27-year-old is 9-9 on the season and is No. 5 in the FedEx ATP Rankings.
