 "US Open champion Dominic Thiem says he's 'not 100 percent yet', will skip Monte Carlo Masters")
Paris: Dominic Thiem will sit out this month’s Monte Carlo Masters after admitting on Thursday he was not fully fit heading into the European clay-court season. The US Open champion pulled out of the Miami Open and will also miss the Monte Carlo event scheduled for 11-18 April. “After Doha and Dubai I needed a break,” Thiem said on his website. “I’m not at 100 percent yet. I’m so sorry, I would have loved to play in Monte Carlo, but it won’t work out.” The World No 4 will instead spend the time practising on clay at home in Austria. “I’m having tough weeks ahead of me, I have a lot of work to do,” he added. Thiem lost in the last 16 of the Australian Open in February and suffered early exits at both Doha and Dubai. He is a two-time runner-up at Roland Garros, the second major of the year which is due to begin 23 May.
