Dominic Thiem Will Wait For Clay To Return, No Indian Wells Or Miami
- 2 Comments
Dominic Thiem’s comeback to tennis has been delayed yet again. Last night, the US Open champion withdrew from the March U.S. Masters in Indian Wells and Miami.
Thiem says his injured right wrist is fine, but he needs more time in general. Thiem was to comeback in Cordoba at the start of February but a finger/knuckle issue on his right hand derailed that return.
The former No. 3 hasn’t played since suffering the wrist injury in Mallorca last June.
“The wrist is perfectly fine, the hand is getting better and better, but still I’ve decided to pull out of Indian Wells and Miami to start the clay court season. It’s still the surface I feel the most comfortable so it’s a perfect time to start there.
“I really would have loved to have played in the States. I’m really sorry for my fans. Last time I played here in Indian Wells I won the tournament.”
Thiem won Indian Wells the last time he played in 2019 beating Roger Federer in a thrilling final.
