The Austrian Dominic Thiemtwo-time finalist of Madrid Masters 1,000was left out of the competition, eliminated from the qualifying phase of the Australian Thanasi Kokkinakisimposed by 6-1 and 6-3 in eighty-five minutes.
The Viennese became a regular at the Caja Mágica. It has been a part of this tournament nine times, eight of them in a row. From 2016 until the last season, in 2023. His debut was in 2014.
Now located beyond the top hundred of the ATP rankings, Thiem had to compete in the qualifying phase to access the final draw. However, in the final match of that previous round he was unable to defeat the Australian Kokkinakis.
Dominik Thiem, who became the third player in the world and whose record includes the United States Open, two Roland Garros finals and one at the Australian Open, has won just two matches on the circuit so far this year. The Austrian has failed to feature since a right wrist injury ruled him out of competition in 2021.
The 30-year-old player from Vienna has twice been a finalist at the Caja Mágica. In 2017, it was surpassed by Rafael Nadal, and in 2018, it was separated from the victory of the German Alexander Zverev.
