Thiem addresses crowd after last Grand Slam match
Dominic Thiem has played his final Grand Slam match, losing to Ben Shelton in the opening round. The 30-year-old previously announced that he would retire at the end of the season.
Thiem won his only Major title at the 2020 US Open – a tournament played behind closed doors in the height of the Covid pandemic. But he finally got to address a packed Arthur Ashe Stadium crowd after losing to Shelton in straight sets.
He said: “It’s actually a really important moment for me because I’ve had my greatest success of my career here on this court in this weird 2020 under very strange and different circumstances and unfortunately I had this success without any of you so that was of course at one point a really amazing moment but on the other hand also pretty sad.
“So I’m super happy that I got the chance to play my last US Open, my last match here on this court and I can spend now some time with you guys just to say thank you to all of you and to make the time up for what we have missed four years ago.”

This is his first tournament since he won a long-awaited gold medal at the Olympics earlier this month. Ahead of the US Open, Djokovic said he never wanted to “recover” from his Olympic success.
“I hope to never recover from that [Olympic triumph], because it’s the best set of feelings that I ever had as an athlete,” the 24-time Grand Slam champion told Eurosport. “On the court but also off, when we went back to celebrate with our people, all of the Serbian Olympians that managed to win a medal.”
