Dominic Thiem has just announced that he will not play Miami after he crashed out in the early stages in Dubai. This means that Novak Djokovic, Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas will be the top 3 players in the main draw in Florida.
Dominic lost arris Lloyd 6-3 6-4 as early as in the 2nd round in Dubai. The Austrian has an unflattering 5-4 win-loss record this year and therefore he needs to reset. Consequently, the world no.4 decided to pause and not to play in Miami.
“I just need to reset myself a little bit to really go fresh into the clay season. Obviously, right now, I’m in a tough period and just it wouldn’t be the right thing to go to Miami,” h2 commented.
“Just make a little reset, regroup and hopefully have a good clay season. After these tough weeks, that’s my main goal now. Right now, I’m not in the greatest shape in any way.”
