Medvedev Bundled Out In First Round Of French Open

World number two Daniil Medvedev has been eliminated from the French Open in his first round match on Tuesday.

He was stunned by qualifier Thiago Seyboth Wild, who won 7-6 (7-5) 6-7 (6-8) 2-6 6-3 6-4, to book a first Grand Slam second-round spot.

There was nothing impressive about the performance of Medvedev who came into the French Open off the back of a clay-court title in Rome and was fancied by spectators to progress to the second round.

Seyboth Wild overpowered him with some remarkable groundstrokes and a sweeping forehand down the line to capitulate him after four hours and 15 minutes.

“I watched Daniil play for my entire junior career until today," said the 172nd-ranked Brazilian after beating Medvedev at Roland Garros.

"I always dreamed of playing on this kind of court playing these players.

"In my best dreams I ended up beating them, so it’s a dream come true.”

The defeat means that Medvedev will fall out of contention to grab the world number 1 title, leaving the battle now between Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic and Stefanos Tsitsipas, who have all progressed to the second round at Roland Garros.
