Austria’s tennis star Dominic Thiem will have one final go
at the Wimbledon title as he is set to receive a wildcard entry.
The third Grand Slam of the year is will be played in the
first week of July where players from all over the world will participate to showcase
their talent.
One of the players who will be the centre of attention is the
former world number three Thiem, who is all but sure to receive a wild card entry to the mega-event, as per tennis journalist Jose
Morgado.
“Looks like Dominic Thiem will, indeed, have a Wimbledon
main draw wild card to play the tournament one last time. Love to see it,”
Morgad wrote in a post on his official account on the social media platform X —
previously known as Twitter.
The current world number 131 has already announced that he
will be retiring from professional tennis at the end of the ongoing season.
Thiem, once regarded as a player capable of competing with the former world number one Rafael Nadal and Serbia’s
legendary tennis star Novak Djokovic, has struggled with form and fitness over
the last few years.
Dominic Thiem has already announced that he will retire at the end of 2024 season.
Thiem won his only Grand Slam back in 2020, when he defeated Germany’s Alexander Zverev in the US Open final in a five-set thriller, winning by scores of 2–6, 4–6, 6–4, 6–3, 7–6(8–6).
Soon after achieving that milestone, Thiem suffered a serious
wrist injury and he never managed to return to his very best.
Ever since winning the only Grand Slam of his career, the Wiener
Neustadt-born star has never managed to play beyond the fourth round of any
major tournament in 10 attempts.
On eight occasions, he was knocked out of the competition in
the first round or during the qualifying stage. His most recent appearance in
the mega-event was at the Roland Garros where he lost in the second qualifying
round to Otto Virtanen with a score of 6-2, 7-5.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
