Dominic Thiem admitted he will miss the "high" of winning after his Grand Slam career came to an end at the US Open on Monday on the same Arthur Ashe court where he won his only major in 2020. The injury-plagued former world number three went down to a 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 defeat to American 13th seed Ben Shelton, his eighth first round exit at his last 10 Slams. Thiem had already announced his intention to retire from tennis on home ground in Vienna in October, giving up on his fruitless battle to fully recover from a persistent wrist injury.

Novak Djokovic was crowned the king of Arthur Ashe after his first-round win at the US Open.
Coco Gauff won the US Open women's singles title in 2023 at age 19, becoming the youngest American champion at the event since Serena Williams in 1999. The victory marked the first Grand Slam title of Gauff's career, kicking off a busy year for the young tennis star. Gauff later became the first tennis player to be an Olympic flag-bearer for the United States at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics. She also earned her first Wheaties box cover this year.
Novak Djokovic and Coco Gauff launch their US Open title defences on Monday, Serbian superstar Djokovic aiming to follow up his emotional Paris Olympics triumph with his first Grand Slam title of 2024. Djokovic, seeded second behind world number one Jannik Sinner, is vying to become the first man to repeat in New York since Roger Federer won five straight US Opens from 2004-2008. "Hopefully that changes this year," Djokovic said. "That's the goal." It's been an erratic year for Djokovic, who was hindered by a knee injury and for the first time since 2017 is looking at the prospect of a year without a Grand Slam title.
