Last week, the Austrian was cynical about his comeback as he didn’t know if he would need a wrist surgery, which will delay the comeback even further.
Now, Thiem has great news for his fans and millions of tennis enthusiasts across the globe. After undergoing tests in Belgium, the Austrian was informed that his wrist is stable and he won’t be needing a surgery. The Austrian took to twitter to express his gratitude for his fans.
Thiem will soon start strengthening the wrist for his ATP tour comeback in 2022
“As you all probably know, I had a very important day today. I was in Belgium to decide if I need a surgery for my wrist or not. Luckily, I have very very good news. I won’t need a surgery. It’s looking stable and it’s looking good, my wrist”, Thiem said.

“Next week, I’ve to make it more flexible. I’ve to strengthen my wrist. I’ve to do everything to prepare to slowly start playing tennis again. I’m looking forward so much to that. It’s been a pretty long time without a racquet. I honestly miss it.
Towards the end, Thiem thanked his fans and mentioned that he wouldn’t have passed this struggling phase without their support. Now that the Austrian won’t need a surgery on his wrist, it’s safe to say that he will likely make his comeback at the Happy Slam(Australian Open) next year.
