Former tennis prodigy Thiago Seyboth Wild under investigation for domestic abuse
ATPThursday, 30 September 2021 at 19:30
Former US Open boy's champion Thiago Seyboth Wild is facing a domestic abuse lawsuit in his native Brazil filed by his ex-girlfriend and the youngster is now under investigation.
Current world number 127 Thiago Seyboth Wild is in the news but for all the wrong reasons. The former tennis prodigy was touted as one of the biggest talents in recent memory when he was a youngster and he showcased some of that talent when he won the Junior US Open title. Since then the 21-year old has had moderate success as a professional never breaking in the top 100 but nonetheless winning one ATP tour-level title last year.
He defeated Casper Ruud in the Chile Open final claiming his lone professional title so far. Seyboth Wild has not played tennis since July and has posted a 17/23 record on the year. Some of his struggles might be attributed to things going on in his personal life on the court which has not been propelled into the spotlight. In his native Brazil, Seyboth Wild is facing a lawsuit from his former girlfriend who alleges that he physically and mentally abused her.

The case is now open and the player is under investigation. The allegations first came to light last August when Lima shared them online saying:
"Without my noticing it, he made me change everything in my life. I started not being able to show a cleavage, I couldn’t even go to the beach to not wear a bikini."
She further said:
"One day, he hurt my finger, because he squeezed it until it almost broke just because he got angry. When Thiago got angry, he pushed me, pulled my hair, called me a bitch, slut, garbage, dumb. I lived at home, I didn’t go out for anything while he was travelling.”

The pair separated in the meantime however Lima is looking for compensation due to "material and moral damages" saying that:
“He left me without any support. He cut everything, including my credit card, which was the only form of money I had to eat, get around, buy medicine if I had to. Thiago’s father suggested a deal, but none I benefited from them in front of everything that Thiago put me through. I realized that it would be more of a ‘shut up’ so that I wouldn’t expose things they didn’t want to come up about our relationship.”
Rio de Janeiro police are officially investigating the case which remains open as of now. Wild has been issued a restraining order beforehand.
