Thiago Seyboth Wild, WHO? Seyboth Wild is a twenty-three-year-old Brazilian, who is ranked one-hundred and seventy-two. This is his second main draw appearance at a major and it is the biggest win of his young career. [2] Daniil Medvedev came in on a high after winning the title in Rome. I have often wondered if doing well in the preceding tournament does not leave you mentally, emotionally, and physically depleted. It seems that is what happened today. The momentum shifted and everyone expected the Russian to cruise with a four-set victory. However, the Brazilian was not ready to leave Roland Garros. Shrugging off the loss of the second and third sets, Thiago Seyboth Wild dug deep into his bag of tricks and came out victorious. He won 7-6(5), 6-7(6), 2-6, 6-3, 6-4.
