The champion of the Masters 1000 ATP in Rome nine days ago, the Russian Daniel Medvedev, is outside of Roland Garros. The world number two is back to his old ways on his bad clay, victimizing No. 172 ATP, from the Brazilian Thiago Seyboth Wildwho passed through the sieve of the previous stage to make his debut at Roland Garros.
Only his second match in the main draw of the Grand Slam, and Seyboth Wild destroyed the dreams of Medvedev, who felt never seen from the hard court, like the Roman Foro Italico. The year leader in games won (39) and titles (6), on the street after a marathon of more than four hours on the center court in Paris. He said goodbye in a bad way, made a comb in public.
The 23-year-old Brazilian won 7-6 (5), 6-7 (6), 2-6, 6-3 and 6-4 in 4h.15′. His first ‘big’ success, the revival of a junior who became one of the best, who won the U-18 US Open, but became a victim of expectations through injuries and also conflicts in his private life: his former partner, Thayane Lima, famous in his country as an influencer, he was brought to court demanding, among other crimes, psychological violence. Everything was openly denied by the athlete.
Maturing with sticks, the best Seyboth Wild The tennis player took down Medvedev in a game of many carats, a deadly right hand. He ran the Muscovite, who built his famous wall to survive. The South American had to knock him down at several stages. Brilliantly.
suffering Medvedev asking for medical help because he was bleeding from the nose, Seyboth Wild asking for help with the index finger of the right hand. A drama that ended with a reverse right hand from the Brazilian, a missile. Yes, with so much talent he left the tournament number 2.
This is his 47th match on the clay of this course, recovering from beyond the world top-400 based on ATP Challengers wins, but the jump to the main circuit is missing. And how did he get up? Seyboth Wildwho at the age of 19 won the ATP Santiago 2020, losing in the final Casper Ruud. Before getting sick with covid.
Seyboth Wild he spoke of a “dream come true”. He could not close it then because in the tiebreak of the second set he wasted 6-4. He blamed his nerves, but he changed himself to keep the flame of illusion alive. He got stuck in the third moto but kept going because he was having the most fun. He competed so well that he forgot everything, including the pressure of closing a surprise like this.
And he captured one of the biggest prizes at this Roland Garros. If the lower part of the box wakes up open, especially if the Muscovite is not in the battle. Quarterfinalist in 2021, eighth-finalist in 2022. Medvedev, farewell at first, as in his first four participations. He committed 15 double faultsHe had them with the fans, to whom he dedicated an ugly comb as a climax.
