Thiem to start in Vienna against Darderi
Dominic Thiem will end his career after his last match at Vienna. In the first round, he will face the Italian Luciano Darderibefore finding, in case of success, Jack Draper or Kei Nishikori in the round of 16. If he manages to advance in the tournament, he could possibly cross paths withAlexander Zverev in the semi-finals, but nothing is less certain. Whatever the outcome of the competition, the Austrian champion should be honored a second time after his last match, although he already received a trophy during this exhibition.
