The surprising campaign of Thiago Seyboth Wild in the Roland Garros Tournament ended in the third round. The Brazilian, who had to overcome the qualifying stage to reach the main draw and surprise the number two in the world, the Russian Daniil Medvedev, fell to the Japanese Yoshihito Nishioka, 33rd in the ranking.
It was a tough game until the fourth set on the Simonne-Mathieu court, one of the main courts in the French tennis Grand Slam. There, Nishioka prevailed against an opponent who did not show strength or concentration to prevent the final score of 3 sets to 2, partials of 3/6, 7/6 (10/8), 2/6, 6/4 and 6 /0, in three hours and 38 minutes.
Despite the defeat on Saturday morning (3), Wild considered his career on clay in Paris to be positive. He arrived at the competition ranked 172nd on the ATP (Association of Professional Tennis Players) list and achieved one of the most expressive results of his career when he went 3 sets to 2 in Medvedev.
The 23-year-old from Paraná continued the good moment, making 3 sets to 1 against the Argentine Guido Pella, number 423 in the world. And it gave the impression that he would also emerge victorious from the duel with Nishioka, with a great start, but the Japanese was calm to react and advance to the round of 16.
Wild’s satisfying campaign has not been without its headaches. Success throughout the week brought to light the legal fight he has with his ex-wife, who accuses him of physical violence and moral abuse. He denies the allegations and says he is the victim of extortion. The tennis player was irritated when asked about the subject after the triumph over Medvedev.
