2020 US Open champion Dominic Thiem did not have a good time in the 2021 season where he entered a season for the first time as a Grand Slam champion. After having made the 4th round at the 2021 Australian Open, Thiem faced early exits in Doha and Dubai to end his hardcourt season on a bitter note.
After a semi-final run at the 2021 Madrid Masters, he lost in the early rounds in Rome, Lyon and also the 2021 French Open where he was shocked in the first round itself. Preparing for the 2021 Wimbledon, Thiem decided to play at the inaugural 2021 Mallorca Championships where he injured his wrist and had to withdraw from the tournament which eventually needed his season.
Over the next few days, the seriousness of the injury was confirmed and it was feared that he might need a surgery but it was eventually avoided and Thiem returned to training shortly after. With eyes set on the 2022 season, the Austrian is working out regularly and recently took to his Twitter handle to post some more updates.
While it was also a plugin for the Techno Gym, Thiem can be seen indulging in cardio exercise.
Dominic Thiem headed to Abu Dhabi
Thiem returns to competitive action at the 3-day exhibition tournament in Abu Dhabi, the 2021 Mubadala World Tennis Championships where he is set to take on Andy Murray in the first round with the winner between the match set to play defending champion Rafael Nadal who will also return to tennis action for the first time since August.
The tournament will also see a one-off match between 2021 US Open champion Emma Raducanu play Tokyo Olympics singles gold medallist Belinda Bencic. The tournament scheduled from 16th to 18th December will be the last tournament for the year before the players travel to Australia to undergo their respective quarantine in order to play during the Australian summer.
