Thiago Seyboth Wild shockingly defeated World No.2 Daniil Medvedev in the first round of the 2023 French Open. This was the Brazilian’s first-ever Grand Slam victory. This shocking result has brought Thiago Seyboth Wild into the limelight and some digging into the life of the 23-year-old was done by the journalists.
In June 2022, Seyboth Wild was charged with a case of domestic violence by his ex-girlfriend Thayane Lima. He was accused of emotional and physical abuse. The Brazilian proceeded to file a defamation lawsuit.
After Seyboth Wild’s victory in the French Open first round, a journalist questioned him about Thayane Lima’s charges against him. The journalist proceeded to talk about if any sort of punishment is still due against the player. Seyboth Wild replied, “I don’t think it’s a subject we should talk about right here. I don’t think it’s a question you should be asking anybody. I don’t think it comes to you to decide whether it’s a place to be spoken of or not. You can write whatever you want.”
The Brazilian player just brushed off the question to probably avoid stirring up too much controversy. He later talked about watching players like Daniil Medvedev all his life and wishing to play with them. It was a dream for him to beat top players like Medvedev, and this dream had come true.
