Roland-Garros 2023: huge sensation with the elimination of Medvedev, world number 2

Big disappointment from the start for Daniil Medvedev. Uncomfortable on clay, the Russian approached the Parisian Grand Slam as an outsider of choice, on the strength of his victory at the Masters 1000 in Rome a few days ago. At Roland-Garros, the Russian was eliminated in the first round by the Brazilian Thiago Seyboth Wild, after a fight of nearly 4 hours 20 minutes (7-6, 6-7, 2-6, 6-3, 6-4 ).

“I watched Daniil a big part of my career. I always dreamed of playing against this type of player, on this type of court. My dream has come true, savored the hot Brazilian. Coming in, I wanted to find good angles, attack, score as many points as possible, use my forehand, it worked quite well. It was quite difficult in the 2nd set with cramps, after that I couldn't serve well as I wanted. I could only rely on my mind to play my best tennis."

At 23, the Brazilian had never played a best-of-five-set match. Without complex, he dictated the exchanges while the Russian was hampered by the swirling wind, alternating forehand winners and sometimes gross faults. The Brazilian will face Quentin Halys or Guido Pella in the 2nd round.
