Earlier last month during the Adria Tour, Thiem was skeptical and unsure about his participation in the US Open.
“I think some circumstances would have to change to go there. We’ll have to wait until the facts are out and decide,” said Thiem last month at the Adria Tour press conference.
The situation has worsened in the US. The Coronavirus cases have increased with record pace over the past few days. The US Open organizers have enforced strict rules. The ATP has also taken action after what happened with the Adria Tour.

Another major concern is with the Calendar. As the US Open concludes the Madrid Open begins. And so it is now impossible to play in the Spanish capital as there is a mandatory 14 day quarantine period which Djokovic also highlighted.
Thiem is a very good clay-court player. He will not want to miss the clay season which follows the US Open. Thiem had a stellar start this year reaching the finals of the Australian Open. So how he manages to travel and play with full fitness will be the question.
