Dominic Thiem, the 2020 US Open champion, has officially retired from professional tennis after his final match at the Erste Bank Open in Vienna. The Austrian star, who once reached a career-high of world No. 3, was defeated by Luciano Darderi 7-6(6), 6-2 in the first round.
Thiem, 31, announced earlier this year that he would step away from the sport following the 2023 ATP Tour season, having struggled to regain form after a series of wrist injuries. Despite a promising start, Thiem lost momentum after leading 4-2 in the first set.
After the match, in an emotional moment, he placed his racquet in a glass case, which will be displayed as a tribute to his career. Thiem’s legacy includes 17 singles titles and runner-up finishes at three Grand Slam events.
