Dominic Thiem gets past the wild card controversy

It hasn’t been long since the fans received the shocking news of Dominic Thiem being denied a wild card for the French Open 2024. While everyone already knew that this season would mark the end of his professional career sooner or later, they all wished to see him in the main draws. However, the authorities had something else in mind as they favored the local guys over the ones who actually deserved it.

Recently, a French WTA star Alize Cornet came forward to express her excitement over receiving the wild card opportunity. Along with her, the list also included the name of Alexandre Muller, making it clear that the concerned authorities were clearly in favor of the local ones and therefore neglected players like Dominic Thiem and Simona Halep who once secured notable positions in the tour.

While the ranking points made the Austrian travel a longer road, it still remains to be seen how far will he be able to extend his run.
