Austrian Tennis Player Thiem Shows Class Despite Tournament Director’s Controversial Decision

Coming down from the stands for a small tribute ceremony, tournament director Amélie Mauresmo was mostly applauded despite a few whistles. The failure to grant an invitation to Thiem for the big picture has caused a lot of discussion, and it is not certain that a small trophy and a few photos will be enough to resolve this incomprehension. Classy as always, the Austrian did not express any resentment towards the organization, believing that his level was insufficient to claim a possible wild card. Finishing on the Lenglen is therefore a nice consolation prize.
