Dominic Thiem remains winless at the UTS tennis exhibition tournament in Frankfurt and is eliminated last in Group A.
After the 0:3 against the Australian Thanasi Kokkinakis the day before, the 31-year-old from Lower Austria first has to bow to the Canadian Denis Shapovalov after making up a set deficit with 1:3 and then to the Frenchman Ugo Humbert with 0:3 on Saturday.
In the exhibition tournament, the matches are played in four quarters of eight minutes each. There is only one serve and only 15 seconds between points.
Thiem will have his own “Farewell” event on Sunday evening in the Wiener Stadthalle in a show set against Alexander Zverev, including a longer farewell ceremony.
On Tuesday evening he will probably play his farewell game at tour level against Luciano Darderi (ITA) in the last regular tournament of his career.
