Mallorca, Jun 23: Fifth-ranked Dominic Thiem retired from his match at the grass-court Mallorca Championships because of pain in his right wrist, less than a week before the start of Wimbledon.

The 27-year-old Austrian was leading 5-2 against Adrian Mannarino, but he grimaced and clutched his wrist after striking a forehand on Tuesday.

The U.S. Open champion received a medical timeout and had the wrist taped but opted not to continue.
