Dominic Thiem can not defend his title at the US Open. The 27-year-old Austrian has to end his season prematurely due to a wrist infringement. This was announced by the World Slistless Sex on Wednesday in the social networks.

Rehabilitation was very good, but last week I felt a similar pain as in Mallorca, Thiem wrote: I was immediately at the doctor and after a few tests and explanations, it was clear that my wrist needs more time.

He opted for a conservative therapy and had to carry a rail again a few weeks before he could recall the training: It was a difficult decision, but in the long term is the right thing because I hope to have a long career in front of me
