Olympia
Dominic Thiem’s hopes of competing in the Olympic tennis tournament have not been fulfilled. The 30-year-old from Lower Austria was not awarded a wildcard for Paris. This is evident from the official entry list published by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) on Thursday.

As expected, the two wildcards for former Grand Slam and Olympic champions in the men’s competition went to two-time British Olympic champion Andy Murray and Swiss Stan Wawrinka. The clay court tournament from July 27 to August 4 in Roland Garros should have been one of the last highlights in Thiem’s career.
The former US Open winner has announced that he will end his career at the end of the season. The decision in favor of Murray and Wawrinka was made due to their higher number of Olympic and Grand Slam titles. This means that Austria is only represented in the Olympic tennis tournament by Sebastian Ofner and Julia Grabher.
