"Thank you, Domi!"
Goosebumps at Thiem’s farewell in Vienna
What a goosebump moment: after Dominic Thiem's defeat against the Italian Luciano Darderi at the Erste Bank Open in Vienna, the entire Wiener Stadthalle rose to its feet. "Thank you, Domi" could be read on a huge fan choreo.
Pure emotion! "I would like to say thank you for all the sensational years. The whole journey was a dream," said Thiem after his two-set defeat to Darderi.
He was celebrated once again by 9600 frenetic fans in Vienna to bid farewell to his career. "I couldn't have imagined it any better," said the 31-year-old.
Racquet goes into display case
The tennis racket with which Thiem played the last point of his successful career was also given a very special place. The 2020 US Open triumphant placed it in a display case to thunderous applause. The racket will be on display from Wednesday at the "Tennis Experience", a special exhibition in the Stadthalle.
