Video - Thiem's racket framed in a shop window
During Dominic Thiem's farewell ceremony in front of the Viennese public, the organizers decided to organize a beautiful sequence.
Instead of putting his racket away in his bag, as all players do at the end of a match, the Viennese tournament took the initiative of creating a display case for the Austrian to lay it down.
It will, no doubt, be on display during the tournament for the rest of the week and for future editions.
A symbolic way of bidding farewell to his career, but also of immortalizing him with this collector's item.
