Dominic Thiem will miss the entire Golden Swing as the Austrian withdrew from Rio and Santiago today after withdrawing from Buenos Aires a few days ago.
Dominic Thiem is still nursing problems in his wrist after suffering an injury last year in Mallorca. The Austrian player suffered a setback in September which forced him to abandon plans of playing in 2021 and he is yet to return. A few days ago he admitted to having a small problem in his wrist that will heal naturally but it forced him to withdraw from the Buenos Aires event.
Thiem also admitted that he won't return until he is 100 % explaining that he is about 95 % fully healthy. Now he elected to withdraw from Santiago and Rio de Janeiro as well opting to return at Indian Wells. The withdrawals will hurt him on the rankings as the Austrian has already dropped quite significantly and he will have a lot of work to do in order to get back to form.
He said in a press statemenet:
"Training was going well in Vienna and I am so happy that I’ve made a full recovery regarding my wrist. Unfortunately, I have suffered this minor setback in Santiago, which has forced me to temporarily stop training. It’s never easy to come back after being away from competition for seven months. I will follow my doctor’s advice and after resting a couple of days, I will start training again next week. I need some consistent time on-court before making my comeback."

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
