Seybolt Wild needed to win three matches in qualifying rounds just to make it into the bracket.
PARIS -- If anyone thought a couple of recent runs to Week 2 at the French Open and a clay-court title a little more than a week ago made Daniil Medvedev a little fonder of the red stuff, forget it.
It's the first time the second-seeded man lost in the first round of the French Open since 2000, when Pete Sampras -- no fan of clay himself -- was eliminated by Mark Philippoussis. He hadn't even played a tour-level main-draw match at all in 2023, instead competing on the lower-level ATP Challenger Tour. At his most recent event, in Turin, Italy, Seybolt Wild made it to the quarterfinals and left with a paycheck for $5,950.
Later, a query arrived about a far more serious matter: The Rio de Janeiro state prosecutors' office charged Seyboth Wild in June 2022 with domestic violence against his ex-partner. He has denied any wrongdoing; a ruling is expected sometime this year.
