After
Grigor Dimitrov and Dusan Lajovic showed a great battle on the courts of Belgrade, Dominic Thiem and Damir Dzumhur walked onto the court for their first match. Already after 2 played points, Dzumhur needed a medical time-out as he injured himself after his service.
After a little break, players continued again as Thiem broke Dzumhur's service game and held his to earn a quick 2-0 lead. That was the point when the Bosnian has decided to pull out of the match as he was not able to move properly. In a quick interview after the match, Thiem said:
"I'm very sorry of course for Damir. I'm very happy because of support from the fans, but I would, of course, love to play longer. "
