Earlier this year, Thiem had announced his retirement from tennis, giving up on his fruitless struggle to fully recover from the injury he sustained in 2021. 


On Tuesday, his Italian rival, Darderi, 22, did not seem to dominate at first, but the World No. 42 gained steam as the match progressed. “I would really like to thank you for all the sensational years, because of course I am only a part of this all, the whole career,” Thiem told the cheering crowd after the match.
