Tournament in Frankfurt
Thiem also loses his second group match
Dominic Thiem also lost his second group match at the UTS exhibition tournament in Frankfurt. After losing 3:0 to Greece's Thanasi Kokkinakis the day before, the 31-year-old from Lower Austria was beaten 3:1 by Canada's Denis Shapovalov on Saturday afternoon.
Thiem managed to come back from a set down, but then lost. In the evening session (21:00), he will play his final match against Ugo Humbert from France.
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.
Farewell tournament in Vienna
Thiem will play a show set against Alexander Zverev at his own "Farewell" event on Sunday evening (6.45 pm) in the Vienna Stadthalle, including a lengthy farewell ceremony. On Tuesday evening, he will probably play his farewell match at tour level against Luciano Darderi (ITA) in the last regular tournament of his career.
