World No 3 Dominic Thiem has agreed to join the entry list of the upcoming ATP250 in Kitzbühel that will be played during the second week of the US Open where the Austrian is one of the top favourites.

The Austrian was one of the most prominent players when it came to playing exhibitions, appearing in Austria, Serbia, France and Germany, looking for optimal preparation to continue his great form at the Australian Open earlier this year.

With the Mutua Madrid Open cancelled, it is likely the ATP Kitzbühel might get delayed for a week so that it doesn’t clash with the US Open schedule.

Alexander Zverev and Felix Auger-Aliassime are the latest to join the entry list for the Vienna tournament.

The organizers unveiled the preliminary list on Sunday, with Thiem, who will defend his title, headlining. With the entry deadline approaching, the finalized preliminary entry list will be available later today.

The tournament organizers would be delighted as well as worried with the impressive list of players for the tournament. If the tournament does not get postponed by a week, then there are likely to be withdrawals due to clash of schedule with the US Open.
