The Lower Austrian will compete in Cincinnati in August (from August 14th), the following week the former third in the world rankings will serve in Winston-Salem (from August 21st) before he will then play at the US from August 29th thanks to a wildcard open. The 28-year-old scored all of his current 221 points this year.
Filip Misolic remains the best Austrian in the world rankings, improving slightly to place 136 (+1). Thiem is only the home number six behind Jurij Rodionov (139), Dennis Novak (155), Gerald Melzer (190) and Sebastian Ofner (225).
