Former U.S. Open champion Dominic Thiem has confirmed he will retire from at the end of the 2024 season. The Austrian, who reached a ranking peak of world No 3 in 2020, released a video statement today explaining that his persistent wrist injury and a general belief that the time is right have led him to end his career in around six months. Advertisement “My wrist is not exactly the way it should be, and it’s not how I want it,” he said. “The second reason is my inner feeling.
He had to beat Djokovic on the way to the 2019 final at Roland Garros and Nadal on the way to the 2020 final in Melbourne; four of his six wins against Nadal came on clay, and he has a 5-2 winning record over Federer, including a win on grass in Stuttgart in 2016. His wrist injury has blighted his career since 2021, with the Austrian never regaining anything like his best tennis after suffering the injury on the back of comfortably his best year on the tour.
