Title: "Thiem" and "Raducanu" in the Qualifying Rounds for the Australian Open

British former US Open champion Emma Raducanu and Austrian Dominic Thiem, also a former major titleholder at Flushing Meadows in New York, will participate in the qualifying rounds for the Australian Open tennis tournament early next year as they attempt to revive their careers in 2024 after struggling with injuries. Thiem broke the dominance of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic on Grand Slam titles when he was crowned the US Open champion in 2020. However, a wrist injury the following year sidelined him from the courts and tournaments for several months, while fitness issues caused his ranking to fall to 352 in the ATP rankings. Currently, the 30-year-old Thiem is ranked 98th in the world and won his first match in a major tournament since 2021 in New York last August before stumbling in the second round afterward.
