When will Dominic Thiem return?

An MR examination should provide information soon, as was recorded on Sunday during the week Ö3 interview stated. Accordingly, his comeback date is still open, but the US Open, which starts in two weeks, is still his dream, said Thiem. “That's my goal that I have in the back of my mind, but it's going to be very, very close. “Something can change every day, but I hope that I can play,” said the Lower Austrian, who celebrated his first Grand Slam title in New York last year. If he is able to compete, his chances of going far are “of course not that great, precisely because I lack match practice. But if I were there, it would be great,” said the 27-year-old. Comeback time uncertain Thiem suffered a tear in the tendon sheath and the associated joint capsule on June 22nd and has not played a match since. Although he has done a lot of fitness and coordination training in the past few weeks and has been able to play with his left hand, he has not been allowed to use his batting hand. “I was able to do everything that didn’t put any strain on the wrist, even my upper body, shoulders, playing tennis with my left hand.” The world number six hopes that his general fitness will hopefully ensure that it won't take that long until he can play matches again after batting training resumes. However, he couldn't say when that would be. “Because I don’t know myself, because no one knows. It depends on the healing process, it depends on how I react to the first blows. You can actually only tell a few days in advance.” For the time being, the right arm should continue to be protected, but a further medical examination that will take place soon should provide more detailed information. “I have another MRI appointment soon, which is relatively important, then I will know when I can pick up the bat again.” After that, the load can only be increased slowly. “With small-sided softballs and then improving day by day, at the moment I’m just playing with the wrong hand.”
