Austrian tennis player Dominic Thiem plans to return to the courts in the December tournament in Abu Dhabi.

“I am pleased to inform you that the convalescence is proceeding successfully. Today’s MRI results showed that the condition of the wrist has significantly improved. A few weeks ago, I started playing slowly with soft balls, and yesterday we switched to regular balls in training. My team and I believe that I will be ready to intervene in the competitive matches at the end of this year, “Thiem wrote to the fans on his Instagram.
He also announced that he had already received the covid-19 vaccine. The fact that Thiem hesitated for a long time whether to undergo vaccination has long been disputed by the Austrian media. The local Minister of Health, Wolfgang Mückstein, even took part in the heated debate, urging the tennis player not to delay the vaccination.
“It simply came to our notice then. Vaccination is, of course, necessary for me to be able to play in Abu Dhabi and subsequently at the Australian Open. So I can inform you, I got an injection in the last few days, “Thiem concluded.
