Dominic Thiem has bad luck on his heels

The Lower Austrian, who is suffering from mild symptoms, announced this via Instagram on Wednesday. This means that his planned appearance at the ATP event in Marrakesh next week will probably be cancelled. “It looks like good news doesn't last long lately. Yesterday I felt unwell after dinner and didn't have a good night. After mild symptoms appeared, I decided to take a test this morning, which gave a positive Covid result,” explained Thiem. It is unclear how long the ex-US Open champion, who has just returned to play after a nine-month break with a wrist injury, will be out. He now has to wait and see how the infection develops, said the 28-year-old. Happy despite defeat During his comeback on Tuesday, the top-seeded Austrian was ranked 228th in the world rankings. Pedro Cachin from Argentina had to admit defeat with 3:6,4:6. For the former number three in the world, however, the joy of returning and the confidence that he would soon improve through match practice prevailed. “You can all imagine how happy I am to be back on the tennis court and doing what I like most: playing tennis and doing it competitively. I felt like a player again. The result was the bitter part, but this is just the beginning of a long road back to my best game.” However, further matches may now take a little longer to arrive. Before the Corona infection, his next planned tournaments after Marrakech were Monte Carlo (from April 10th) and Belgrade (18th).
