Dominic Thiem survived surgery on his right wrist. “There is very good news. I won’t need surgery. The wrist has recovered well and looks stable and looking good,” Tim announced in a Twitter video posted on Monday evening.

He’ll use the next few weeks to mobilize the joint and strengthen the muscles, then start again slowly with light tennis training. “I can’t wait to finally hold the bat after so long,” the 28-year-old confirmed. So he can hope to return in January at the Australian Open. Tim recently announced that if there was no intervention, he would start again with punch training in November.

Tim – No match since June

Thiem suffered a rupture of the tendon sheath and the accompanying capsule in his right wrist at Wimbledon Preparatory Championships in Mallorca on June 22 and has not played a match since. In the meantime, an early return to training brought him back into training. Recently, Tim said there was a rehab error that made his hoped-for US Open participation impossible and resulted in a premature end to the season. The lower Austrian, who is now back in eighth place in the world rankings, broke up with his physiotherapist Alex Stuber.

A stress test conducted on Monday as it has now been announced showed certainty that he doesn’t have to go under the knife. The 2020 US Open winner will give more information about his plans next Monday at a press conference.
