The spectators freak out, he can’t believe it himself: Thiago Seyboth-Wild, number 172 in the world in men’s tennis, knocks Daniil Medvedev (27, ATP 2) out of the French Open. The Brazilian is overjoyed, also at the start of the mandatory press conference after the match.
There, however, she is suddenly slowed down when a reporter confronts the Brazilian about his ex-girlfriend’s violent allegations of abuse. In June 2022, “UOL Esporte” wrote that the 23-year-old was convicted, and the journalist now wants to know what has happened since then. “I don’t think it’s a topic we should talk about here,” replies the 2018 US Open junior winner.
What happened? In October 2021, Seyboth-Wild’s ex-girlfriend, influencer Thayane Lima, went public that he allegedly abused her “mentally and physically”. As she told the Brazilian portal at the time, he once “almost broke a finger” because she posted a photo on Instagram that showed only her and not both. He also repeatedly called her “stupid”, “garbage”, and “cheap”, pushed her around and pulled her hair.
Lima accused Seyboth-Wild, who has only won one ATP tournament so far (Santiago 2020), of making her completely dependent on him: “I was no longer allowed to show cleavage, no longer wear a bikini on the beach.”
Similarly, the tennis player is said to have been in control financially: “We had a stable relationship, so at his request I stopped advertising on Instagram. But he didn’t support me. He blocked everything, even my credit card.” Seyboth-Wild’s father offered her material and emotional support, but she took it as an invitation to keep quiet.
2nd round against world number 423
Seyboth-Wild responded at the time that these were “untrue and defamatory statements”. Nevertheless, he was convicted in June 2022 by the State Department in Rio.
Back to Paris, where the reporter wants to know what’s going on. “It’s not up to you to decide if this is the place to talk about it. You can write whatever you want,” says a visibly irritated Seyboth-Wild.
Then it’s back to the sporting and probably the best moment of his professional career. In round 2, the qualifier meets Guido Pella (33, ATP 423) from Argentina. (che)
