Big bang! Thiem receives wildcard for US Open

Tennis pro Dominic Thiem can serve one last time at the US Open before his career ends in the fall!

The Lower Austrian, who won in New York in 2020, received one of the wildcards for the main event on Wednesday.

Swiss veteran Stan Wawrinka was also given one of the special permits for players outside the required position in the world rankings for the main draw or qualifying.

Former US Open winners Naomi Osaka and Bianca Andreescu also received wildcards for the hard-court tournament starting on August 26.
