The Austrian tennis pro Dominic Thiem is still waiting for his first victory on his comeback. In Estoril, Portugal, the 28-year-old lost his first-round game against Frenchman Benjamin Bonzi 3-6, 6-7 (9-11).
A week ago, the 2020 US Open winner was eliminated in the first round of the clay court tournament in Belgrade, his first ATP tour appearance since June 2021. Thiem had to pause for a long time due to a complicated hand injury.
At the end of March, Thiem had his first official match after the long break at the Challenger tournament in Marbella, but also suffered a defeat. After that, he was thrown back again by a coronavirus infection.
