- Austrian will miss rest of season after setback
- Player has struggled for form and fitness this year
Defending champion Dominic Thiem has withdrawn from the US Open and will miss the rest of the season. Thiem has failed to recover from a wrist injury suffered while contesting the Mallorca Open in June.
In a statement, the 27-year-old Austrian said: “Having spent a week training on court, I still felt pain in my wrist and I knew that it was not 100%. I went to see my doctors again and we have decided to follow a conservative treatment, giving the injury more time to recover.
