Fans were heartbroken when Dominic Thiem couldn’t compete at the US Open to defend his title. Thiem is still recovering from his wrist injury and it looks unlikely that he will return to the court in 2021.

Dominic Thiem injured his wrist in the first match of the Mallorca Open 2021. He failed to complete even a single set there and hasn’t returned to the court ever since.

Thiem in the 2021 tennis season

The 2021 tennis season has proved to be one of the worst seasons for Thiem. He didn’t win any tournaments and suffered some quite shocking losses this year.

After failing to qualify into the quarter-finals of the Australian Open 2021, the Austrian faced first-round exits at the ATP Dubai, Lyon Open, and at the French Open 2021. He didn’t look in great touch and unfortunately, injured himself right ahead of the Wimbledon Championships 2021.

It is because of these poor performances that Thiem failed to bag any significant ATP points from the Grand Slams this year. Moreover, since he won’t be able to qualify for the ATP Finals 2021, it looks as if his 2021 season is almost over.

Regardless of his form before the injury, fans are happy to Dominic Thiem back on the court. Will he be able to make a phenomenal comeback at the Australian Open next year?
