- 2020 runner-up has failed to recover from a wrist injury
- Former US Open champion hasn’t played since June
Dominic Thiem, beaten men’s singles finalist in 2020, is out of next month’s Australian Open after failing to recover from a long-standing wrist injury. The 28-year-old Austrian, who has not played since suffering the injury at the Mallorca Open in June, was unable to defend his US Open title this year.
Thiem soared to No 3 in the world until the injury halted his progress and relegated him to his current ranking of 15.
