Austrian tennis player Dominic Thiem has been an exceptional player on the men’s tour. However, his 2021 season was plagued by injuries, which have now caused him to withdraw from the Mubadala World Tennis Championships, scheduled for later this week.

The 2020 US Open champion revealed he was lacking confidence and felt that he would not be able to execute certain shots as per his liking. However, Thiem did assure fans that he is feeling fine and that he is targeting a return back to Australia during the ATP Cup and the events followed thereafter.

The 28-year-old player’s recent update stated, “Withdrawal from Abu Dhabi is no setback as it was clear from the beginning that it’ll be close. He is pain-free but still misses some confidence on the forehand. He plans to play the ATP Cup and the Australian Open, maybe 250 events in Sydney.”

Dominic Thiem saw most of the season on the sidelines 

Coming to tennis, Thiem has not been featured at the Wimbledon Championships and was unable to defend his title at the US Open due to injury. He has been dealing with a wrist injury around the grass season.

The former World No. 3 player has barely played any events in the current year. He reached the fourth round of the Australian Open before losing to Grigor Dimitrov. Thiem reached the finals in 2020 in Melbourne.
