"Worse than Zverev and Kyrgios, f*** him": Tennis fans react after Seyboth Wild nazi remarks released following Roland Garros exit
ATP
Thiago Seyboth Wild is embroiled in controversy due to messages expressing his pride in having Nazi roots.
The 23-year-old Brazilian was one of the biggest surprises of the 2023 French Open, where he successfully qualified and reached the fourth round, including a victory over world No. 2 Daniil Medvedev in the second round.
However, his impressive performance on the court has been overshadowed by controversies he has been involved in outside of tennis. Thiago Seyboth Wild was questioned by a journalist in a press conference about accusations of domestic violence raised by his ex-girlfriend, Thayane Lima, since 2021.
The world No. 172 refused to answer the journalist's question, and in the days following the incident, messages between the Brazilian player and his ex-girlfriend have been published, in which he proudly mentions his Nazi roots. This has led to criticism from fans.
"My great-grandfather, my mother’s father’s father’s father… was Hitler’s predecessor…. He was the one who brought him over from Austria and taught Hitler the life,” he wrote according to O Globo.

- That was a hideous display. Condescending Collins is no friend to tennis. She said she was retiring and should follow through. Sooner the better for the sport. BTW: As I read it in the WTA Rulebook 2025, it seems she broke at least two regulations in her post-match childish behavior. BTW: There are reasons she has no sponsors... and she displayed several of those reasons today.mandoist16-01-2025
