U.S. Open title<\/a> this year.<\/p>\nThiem had earlier withdrawn from the team-based ATP Cup, which starts on Saturday in Sydney, and other warmup events ahead of the hardcourt major at Melbourne Park.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am now feeling well again, my wrist is in optimal condition and I am practicing normally with a very good intensity.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter the short holidays, my team and I have assessed all matters and we have decided to make some changes to my initial tournament schedule,\u201d Thiem said on Twitter.<\/p>\n
Thiem reached the final at Melbourne Park last year before winning his maiden major title at Flushing Meadows.<\/p>\n
He has now slipped to 15th in the ranking.<\/p>\n
Thiem opted against playing five-set matches on his return to competition at the Australian Open, deciding to start his 2022 season in South America at the Cordoba Open in Argentina at the end of January.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will miss the Australian fans, but I will be back (there) in 2023.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe believe this is the right decision in order to have a good return to competition.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor the moment I will remain in Austria for a few more days and then head to practice outdoors and get ready for my first event of the season,\u201d Thiem added.<\/p>\n
Thiem became the latest top player to pull out of the Grand Slam due to injury after Roger Federer, Milos Raonic, Jennifer Brady, Karolina Pliskova, Serena Williams and Bianca Andreescu.<\/p>\n
Australian Open, the first major of 2022 is due to start on Jan. 17.<\/p>\n
