Dominic Thiem says goodbye to the Mallorca Championships

The All England Lawn Tennis Club proved to be very decisive in the past year: The cancellation of the Wimbledon tournament went very quickly, as most of the costs due to the cancellation of the event were ultimately covered by insurance. In any case, postponement was never an option. It can be assumed that the draw for this year's tournament will also take place on schedule. And tomorrow, Friday.

This in turn increases the time pressure on Dominic Thiem, who underwent an in-depth investigation one day after his injury-related task at the Mallorca Championships in Barcelona. It has to be clarified whether the damaged right wrist meets the requirements of a Wimbledon start.

Or one in Hamburg (immediately after the third major of the year), in Gstaad and maybe also in Kitzbühel. Due to Dominic Thiem's cancellation of the Olympics, which was communicated before the Mallorca mishap, suddenly a few weeks have become free for well-kept clay court tennis. But the prerequisite for this is a healthy Dominic Thiem. Today it should be found out whether this is the case.
