Thiem ends career cheered on by home crowd

VIENNA — Austria's Dominic Thiem, a former US Open champion, was swept aside, 6-7 (6-8), 2-6, by Luciano Darderi at the Vienna Open on Tuesday, ending his career on home ground after battling a long-term wrist injury.

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.
