–

With Dominic Thiem’ loss to Luciano Darderi of Italy on Tuesday night, that is it for his illustrious but star-crossed career. He ends it at home in Austria. And most fans are left with questions about what might have been, had it all unfolded differently.

The Basel event has some of the flashier players (Fils, Shelton, Canadians Auger-Aliassime and Shapovalov).

But Vienna has arguably the best first-round matchups. A lot of them, too, are in country: Monfils v Halys, the two Lorenzos, Michelsen v Giron.
