Dominic Thiem's Asutralian open campaign ends prematurely due to injury

Seventh seed Dominic Thiem's Australian Open campaign came to a premature end with the Austrian retiring hurt in his second round clash against wildcard Alexei Popyrin on Thursday. Thiem appeared frustrated during the match, smashing one of his racquets, as he trailed 7-5 6-4 2-0 before retiring. Local favourite Popyrin will play the winner of Lucas Pouille and Maximilian Marterer in the third round.
