Last year, Thiem donated his entire prize money from the Adria Tour to the Children’s Cancer Research Institute in Vienna. Ahead of the 2020 Australian Open, the 27-year-old also took part in the Rally for Relief alongside other top players to raise funds for the Victorian Bushfire appeal.

Meanwhile, after suffering two back-to-back early exits at Qatar Open and Dubai Open, Thiem skipped the 2021 Miami Open to reset his form. Moreover, just a few days back, Thiem also announced his withdrawal from the upcoming Monte Carlo Open, which marks the inception of the European clay-court season.
