Two-time French Open finalist Thiem out of Wimbledon

London - Two-time French Open champion Dominic Thiem was knocked out of Wimbledon in the first round on Tuesday losing to veteran American Sam Querrey.  

The 25-year-old Austrian fifth seed does not find grass to his liking -- his best showing reaching the last 16 in 2017 -- and wilted under the expert serve and volley game of Querrey.

Querrey, a semi-finalist at Wimbledon in 2017, will next play Andrey Rublev of Russia or Cristian Garin of Chile.

Thiem joins fellow top-10 seeds Stefanos Tsitsipas and Alexander Zverev in being toppled in the first round.
