Take your time @domithiem wrists are incredibly tough. You have achieved amazing things in your career and you should be proud! If you come back it’s a bonus for us all
Nick Kyrgios wrote while reacting to Dominic Thiem’s video.

Notably, Dominic Thiem announced on Wednesday that he is very much active on the tour and has no plans to retire as of now. The Austrian said that as he started facing issues with his wrist again, he opted to stay away from the tour for a while.

However, Thiem promised his fans that he would come back soon. The 30-year-old said that he is eyeing the ATP 250 tournament that will be played on clay in Estoril in the first week of April for his comeback to the main tour.

Nick Kyrgios has been supportive of Dominic Thiem ever since he came back

Nick Kyrgios, who is often referred to as the bad boy of tennis has been supportive of Dominic Thiem ever since the Austrian made a comeback. Even during the US Open saga last year where Kazakhstan player Alexander Bublik called Thiem ‘disabled’, Kyrgios stood in solidarity with the Austrian.

Kyrgios had thrashed the Kazakh player for his remarks, calling it “lowkey horrible”. As Bublik vented out his frustration after losing to Thiem at the 2023 US Open by uttering words in Russian, he was called out. 

This is low key horrible.
Nick Kyrgios had written on Twitter (now X) then.

Meanwhile, Thiem had slipped it under the carpet saying Bublik would not have meant it that way. Nevertheless, the Austrian is now struggling with his wrist and Kyrgios can feel the struggle considering he has also been out of the tour with a similar issue.

The Australian has been trying hard to make a comeback to the tour but has not been able to recover yet. It is to be seen when Kyrgios gets match-fit. Thiem, meanwhile, will be hoping to turn his fortune around when he returns to the court this time.
