Late on Tuesday evening, Dominic Thiem spoke in detail about his emotional state after his last professional match on the ATP tour. Before that, he lost his first round match against the favored Italian Luciano Darderi (ATP 42nd) after 1:32 hours 6:7(6), 2:6. Sadness, great relief and a certain emptiness form a colorful emotional mix for the former tennis world number three. The 31-year-old from Lower Austria categorically rejected speculation about a possible comeback in one or two years. Thiem expressed great thanks to his fans in Austria and also worldwide.
