Dominic Thiem will not play at the 2022 Australian Open as the biggest name casualty so far in the Men's draw in Melbourne.
Thiem was set to return to action but withdrew from Abu Dhabi recently as well as multiple pre Australian Open warm-up tournaments giving the notion that he would potentially skip the first Grand Slam of the year.
As a result, he will begin his season as previously announced at the Cordoba Open in Argentina at the end of January which is played on clay and will take in the South American swing on his return to action.
He will now continue to train and get ready for his first tournament of the season with his full statement below.

- I heartily disagree with Stubbs here. I mean c'mon! The whole idea of giving out wildcards is to give new & up-coming players a chance at getting as much circuit match-practice under their belts as possible. And this is a HUGE must and opportunity for these new kids on the block. Why curtail opportunities for these newbies in favour of stalwart monopoly?? That just isn't fair. At least give these lesser known players a chance to become more familiar at playing in bigger tournaments & give them also a chance of getting the crowds behind these underdogs.
