Austria’s tennis star cannot compete in the ATP 250 tournament because of gastrointestinal flu. This means that the dress rehearsal for the US Open is cancelled.
Dominic Thiem’s ups and downs this year will continue in late summer. Austria’s tennis star, who was last able to improve his form with the finals in Kitzbühel, has to cancel his start at the ATP 250 tournament in Winston Salem at short notice due to illness.
His first-round duel with Frenchman Arthur Rinderknech, scheduled for Monday evening (local time), was removed from the tableau and schedule. A lucky loser moves up for Thiem. The reason given for the withdrawal on the ATP side is gastroenteritis, i.e. the gastrointestinal flu. There was no comment from Thiem himself for the time being.
Without match practice to the US Open
In any case, this means another setback on his way back towards the top of the world after he was able to nurture corresponding hopes in Kitzbühel. Thiem is contesting the US Open, which starts next week, without match practice on hard court, because the 29-year-old skipped the recent 1000 tournaments in Toronto and Cincinnati and instead prepared with his trainer Benjamin Ebrahimzadeh in his native Germany.
