(Reuters) - World number four Dominic Thiem said he is not yet fully fit and is skipping this month's ATP Masters 1000 event in Monaco. The U.S. Open champion opted out of the ongoing Miami Masters and has not played since making an early exit at the ATP 500 event in Dubai last month. The 27-year-old had targeted the European claycourt season to return after struggling with a foot problem recently. I'm so sorry, I would have loved to play in Monte Carlo, but it won't work out." Thiem said he will be practising on clay at home in Austria during the Monte Carlo event.
