Federer crashes out of Italian Open after loosing to Dominic Thiem
The world No.2 Roger Federer who’s been struggling with knee and back injuries, has been knocked out of the Italian Open after losing to fast-rising Austrian Dominic Thiem, in the 3rd round of the tournament.
The Swiss maestro who withdrew from last week’s Madrid Open, was a fraction of his usual best against the 15th-ranked Dominic Thiem on Thursday.
He went up a break early into the match, but the Austrian broke right-back and took the 1st set in a tie-break.
Thiem went on to break Federer’s serve midway through the 2nd, before wrapping up the match 7-6, 6-4, to earn his 32nd victory of the season.
The 17-Time Grand Slam Champion Roger Federer now faces a fitness race and has only 10 days to prepare for the French Open.
