US Open champion Dominic Thiem has pulled out of Wimbledon because of a right wrist injury.

The Austrian, ranked fifth in the world, sustained the injury during a second-round match against Adrian Mannarino at the ATP event in Majorca earlier this week and a scan revealed a detachment of the posterior sheath of the ulnar side.

Thiem, who had already decided against competing at the Tokyo Olympics, will wear a wrist splint for five weeks and is now in a race against time to be fit for the defence of his first grand slam title in New York at the end of August.
