Currently 90th in the world and forced to play most often on the Challenger circuit, Dominic Thiem confided that he had suffered from his right wrist recently, the same one that had been operated on in 2021, which had put a stop to to his career. But the Austrian intends to play at Estoril next week.
This Wednesday the quarter-finals of the Masters 1000 in Miami are taking place, a stage of the competition that Dominic Thiem reached in 2015, for his second participation. But the former winner of the US Open and double finalist at Roland-Garros has today somewhat disappeared from circulation. Currently 90th in the world, he is forced to skim the Challenger circuit most often, and the results are not there.

Thiem trains with his father again
“As you all know, I started training again with my father after the Australian Open, to get back to the training method that made me very good. So we started training again like when I was younger, with a lot of intensity, a lot of shots, a lot of hours on the court. Unfortunately, a little before the Challenger in Hungary (in Szekesfehervar, editor’s note), my wrist started to have problems again. I started having those annoying clicks (sic) again right after I came back from my injury three years ago. This strange feeling came back, and it turned into pain over the last few weeks. a little inflammation there, and that’s why I withdrew from the Naples Challenger this week. For now, I’ve turned the volume down a bit. I’m training a little less, and also a little less long, because there’s a good chance I can go to Estoril (the ATP 250 which takes place next week on clay, editor’s note)”, explains the former world No. 3. It was already an injury to his right wrist which put an end to his career, when “in June 2021, then world No. 5, he was seriously injured and had not played for nine months. Since then, Thiem has played in three semi-finals and an ATP 250 final but has only won only one Grand Slam match and has never been ranked higher than 72nd. This time, the injury seems less serious, but will the Austrian really manage to relaunch his career? Last January, he said that this The 2024 season might be his last if he remains stuck around the Top 100.
