[Music] comment Dominic team must be honored appropriately at the upcoming US Open as Dominic team prepares to play in his final Grand Slam Tournament US Open bosses should do the right thing and honor him appropriately the former world number three won his only major title in Flushing Meadows back in 2020 it was a historic occasion he was the first man born in the 1990s to win a slam and the First new champion in six years but he was robbed of one of the best moments of winning a grand slam title as the tournament was played behind closed doors and he never got to lift his biggest trophy in front of a crowd the US Open must give theme what he deserves his crowning moment in front of a packed stadium before it's too late back in May the 30-year-old announced that he would retire at the end of the season after years of wrist injuries struggles since he made his announcement he has not competed in a Grand Slam Tournament French Open and Wimbledon bosses both chose not to Grant him a main draw wild card he went through qualifying at Roland garos but lost in the second round it's one thing the US Open has already gotten right they granted him a wild card into the tournament but playing a match in the main draw isn't enough theme has already been honored with the few ceremonies at various tournaments he's played since announcing his retirement the French Open paid tribute to him on court Suzanne langin after his qualifying loss and theme got to say goodbye at his home tournament in kits bule where he was given a trophy during a special presentation US Open organizers will no doubt have something up their sleeve if and when theme loses in Flushing Meadows ultimately bringing his Grand Slam career to an end but there is only one appropriate way to honor his legacy at the tournament theme should be presented with the Champions Trophy this time in front of a full crowd and experience what he missed at the co affected 2020 tournament four years ago the Austrian survived a gruelling five set battle against Alexander zerov in the final the former world number three became the first player in the open era to come back from two sets down in the championship match Zera served for the title at 5 to3 in the final set but got broken theme then served for it at 6 to5 but it went down to a tie break the first US Open final to be decided by a fifth set breaker [Music] [Applause] [Music] spe for [Music] [Music] fore [Music] spee foreign spee e for
