Dominic Thiem, the 2020 champion, and Grand Slam title winners Venus Williams and Sofia Kenin were among those named Wednesday as wild cards for the US Open main draw.

The US Tennis Association announced the recipients ahead of the August 29 start of the year's final Grand Slam tournament at New York.

Austrian Thiem, the former world number three now ranked 228th, has returned to competition after a long layoff due to a wrist injury.

Williams, 42, has won seven Grand Slam singles titles, including back-to-back US Open titles in 2000 and 2001. She returned to competition after missing nearly a year due to injury.
