A wound-up Daniil Medvedev suffered a shock first-round exit at the French Open when he lost 7-6(5) 6-7(6) 2-6 6-3 6-4 to Brazilian qualifier Thiago Seyboth Wild amid gusty winds on Tuesday.
Although Seyboth Wild won two Challenger titles on clay this season, world number two Medvedev was coming into the Grand Slam tournament on the back of a title in Rome, having shown tremendous progress on the slowest surface.
"I watched Daniil play since I was junior and beating him on such a court is a dream come true,' the world number 172 said. Medvedev saved two set points in the second tiebreak and on the Russian's first set point, Seyboth Wild, with an open court for a routine overhead, sent the ball wide.
