Tim: Eighty percent of the body has recovered and still owes the game The Australian Open does not have too high expectations

Sports Weekly reported all media

Tim has not competed since the Mallorca grass race in June, due to a wrist injury. He announced his retirement again before the match, which was scheduled to return from the Abu Dhabi exhibition match this week, but Tim revealed that he had recovered nearly 80% physically but was not ready to return to the game.

Although Thiem was unable to participate in the Abu Dhabi Exhibition, he said he was no longer in pain and just felt that he was not up to the level of participating in a high-level event. "Of course I want to go and play," Tim said, "and now my recovery progress is in line with the plan, and there is no pain, but the batting training is still a bit behind." 'Tim thinks the players have shown 100% of their strength at this point based on the intensity of previous Abu D'azar games, but he says he hasn't reached that level yet. Now my state is only 80%. ”

Thiem's place in the signing table will be replaced by Britain's Evans, who will play against Murray in the first match, and the next winning side between the two will be in the semi-finals against Nadal.

Tim will continue to prepare for the Australian season in Dubai and will depart for Sydney on 22 December. Thiem has yet to confirm the warm-up of the Australian season, but he hopes to be able to compete in the ATP Cup in Sydney and another ATP250 before the Australian Open starts. 'But it all depends on how I recover and whether I need more games. Tim explains, "But it's safe to say that even if I don't play a single game, I'll play at the Australian Open. "As this injury suspension is also the longest break of Thiem's career, he does not have high expectations for his Australian Open performance." I need to see how it's going to be playing against the masters, and I think I'll be slowly making deeper rounds in the middle of the season. (Text/Malt)
