Coming from the qualifications, who fell world number 2 Daniil Medvedev in the first round, the Brazilian Thiago Seyboth Wild left the tournament. His beautiful journey ended on June 3 in the third round on the Simonne-Mathieu court. The South American fell in 5 sets to the Japanese Yoshihito Nishioka (n°27) who won 3-6, 7-7, 2-6, 6-4, 6-0.
Not sure that the tournament will miss the little mustache of this Thiago Seyboth Wild who points to 172nd place in the ATP rankings. The very serious Brazilian media O Globo publishes this same June 3 what would be an exchange of WhatsApp messages between the player and his ex-wife. According to screenshots revealed by Brazilian media, these exchanges date back to 2019.
“My great-grandfather was Hitler’s predecessor”
In the conversation, the woman named Thayane, asks the one who would be Seyboth Wild, her boyfriend at the time: “Your mother does not like gays, blacks and Jews, right? The player answers a laconic and frank “yes” before arguing his answer. He writes verbatim to the one who will become his wife to warn her: “My family on my mother’s side is Nazi”. In another message, he continues: “I preferred to tell you now because if you don’t want to go, I understand”.
Thiago Seyboth Wild would have written in these same exchanges that he descends from a family of Nazi dignitaries, close to Hitler. “My great-grandfather, my mother’s father’s father was Hitler’s predecessor. He was the one who brought him from Austria (the country of birth of the dictator) and taught Hitler about life”.
Accused of physical and psychological violence
Still on the messaging system, Seyboth Wild would have sent some photos on which we see his grandfather posing with Nazi leaders in the 1920s or 1930s. In the aftermath of the war, Brazil, long ruled by a ruthless military dictatorship, served as a land of welcome to fugitive Nazis. After the publication of the O Globo article, Seyboth Wild’s entourage formally denied the existence of these messages.
Thayane Lima, to whom they would have been intended, subsequently accused his former companion of physical and psychological violence, describing the gestures and words of Thiago Seyboth Wild on social networks and filing a complaint. The case is still in the hands of the courts. Seyboth Wild was indicted in June 2022 for these facts, which he has always denied. “I don’t think that’s a topic to talk about. I don’t think that’s a question to ask here. I won’t say more. You can write whatever you want,” he concluded at a press conference after his victory over Medvedev. He has not since appeared in front of the media as required by the regulations.
