Due to the physical problem, Dominic Thiem missed both Masters 1000 in August, Rogers Cup in Canada and Cincinnati Masters in the US. A week before the last Grand Slam of the year, the Austrian player decided to attend the ATP 250 Winston-Salem Open.
After crossing Jeffrey John Wolf in the first round, Thiem continued to win tickets to the quarterfinals after the No. 1 seed Grigor Dimitrov gave up. In this round, his opponent is the seed No. 13 Jack Draper. As a result, the Austrian player received a quick failure after 2 sets.
Enter set 1, Thiem started extremely badly. Accordingly, the US Open 2020 champion takes 2 consecutive breaks and leads to 0-5. In the rest of the set, he only won 1 game, thereby losing 1-6.
Set 2, Thiem has improved the gameplay. However, that is still not enough. The Austrian player loses the break in game 9 hinges and receives 4-6 defeat.
In the end, Thiem lost 1-6, 4-6 and officially stopped in the third round.
This is obviously a bad momentum of Thiem before the US Open. The last Grand Slam of the year will start on Monday.
