The 2022 Wimbledon Grand Slam gets underway on June 27. However, ahead of the same, there have been a couple of injury setbacks. Alexander Zverev of Germany and Dominic Thiem of Austria have withdrawn from the Slam doe the same reason. While Zverev has three torn ligaments in his right ankle during his collapse in the French Open 2022 semis against eventual champion Rafael Nadal of Spain, he underwent surgery on June 8 and is likely to be out of action for a month or two. Meanwhile, he has risen second in the ATP Singles Rankings, his career-best, besides a record of 29-10 this year.

On the other hand, Thiem does not have any injury concerns but has been out of form since his return from a wrist injury after nine months.

Thiem is currently 0-6 following his return and has decided to skip the grass-court season to rediscover his top-level.

Thiem's best performance in Wimbledon happened in 2017 when he reached the pre-quarters but has not won a match on the grass since then.
