Dominic Thiem was celebrated after losing in the qualifying rounds at the French Open. He was presented with a commemorative trophy by the tournament director, Amélie Mauresmo, in front of a packed crowd on the Lenglen court.
Thiem, a two-time finalist at Roland Garros, received a warm welcome from the crowd with claps and cheers, showing appreciation for his efforts and contributions to the sport. The ceremony was a recognition of his career and his final run in the qualifying stage of the tournament before his retirement.
Nevertheless, the tournament has been fiercely criticized for not granting Thiem a wild card for the main draw.
Thank you Thiem for all the memories 🧡#RolandGarros @domithiem pic.twitter.com/DzCckqwpjX
