Before that, Thiem’s view of the round of 16 had run for 30 minutes as desired, thanks to a break to make it 4: 2, everything came down to a set lead of fifth in the world rankings. Then he suddenly felt a “crack” in his right wrist, was treated by the physiotherapist and then decided not to play any more.
For Thiem, a previously messed up season continues on grass. Last year’s US Open winner surprisingly lost to Spaniard Pablo Andujar in the opening round at the French Open in Paris.
Thiem has to give up
There was a bitter, quick end for Dominic Thiem at the ATP lawn tournament in Mallorca. The Lower Austrian had to give up against French Adrian Mannarino after only seven games due to an injury.
