Dominic Thiem will make his US Open decision within a week.

"I think in the next five to seven days there will be a decision," Thiem told ORF in comments published by AFP. "Of course I hope [the US Open] will go ahead, but safety comes first of course.

"We have to follow countries' governments. If they see any danger, they won't allow a tournament, especially such a big one as the US Open."

The three-time Grand Slam finalist is one of several players who apologized for their behavior on the Novak Djokovic-led Adria Tour.
