Dominic Thiem concluded his tennis career prematurely during the 2024 ATP season.

The Austrian star stepped away from the game at 31, after struggling with a wrist injury that ultimately ended his career.

Thiem, who last appeared on tour at the Vienna Open, first hurt his wrist back in 2021 during a tournament in Mallorca.

The former US Open champion spent nine months recovering, but never fully regained his previous form.

Although he did manage to fight his way back into the top 100 briefly, he was never quite the same player as before.

Looking back on his career during an appearance on the Von Nix Kommt Nix podcast, Thiem admitted he may have rushed his comeback from injury.
