Due to an injury incurred during the 2021 grass-court season, the Austrian, who challenged Novak Djokovic to a five-set match in the Australian Open final in 2020, missed nine months of action.
Dominic Thiem, the former third-ranked player in the world, received a wildcard to the Australian Open on Friday as he continues to recover from a major wrist injury. The Austrian, who forced Novak Djokovic to play five sets in the Australian Open final in 2020, missed nine months of action due to the injury he suffered in the 2021 season on grass courts. In the second half of this year, he advanced from outside the top 350 to number 102 on the circuit, with semi-final runs in Gstaad, Gijon, and Antwerp.
The Australian Open, which begins on January 16 in Melbourne, almost missed the 29-year-straight old’s qualification due to his quick ranking surge.
In 2020, Thiem, a two-time runner-up at the French Open, won the US Open.
Taylor Townsend and Christopher Eubanks of the United States, as well as Diane Parry and Luca Van Assche of France, received further wildcards.
