Seyboth Wild appears in Brazilian court to answer domestic violence allegations
ATPThursday, 08 June 2023 at 18:00
Thiago Seyboth Wild had a whirlwind run at Roland Garros over the past few weeks but always underneath was an under current of off the court matters.
From his ongoing domestic violence allegations, to his ex-girlfriend confirming that Seyboth Wild allegedly sent texts saying his family is derived from Nazi's.
These comments were unearthed by Brazilian media after being sent the WhatsApp messages and then reported in English by CLAY who also said that Seyboth Wild has failed to answer the allegations against him due to not being in Brazil.
Training in Argentina, he now though has taken steps to attempt to clear his name against the allegations.
This despite refusing to answer questions surrounding the case in Paris. "I don't think it's a topic to discuss here nor do I think it's a question you should ask anyone," he said.
Straight to Rio after Paris exit after living in Argentina previously
Heading straight to Rio after his defeat to Yoshihito Nishioka, he went directly to court on Monday after exiting on Saturday.
The 23-year-old answered charges of violence against his ex-girlfriend being accused of physical and psychological abuse by Thayane Lima who he was with for just shy of two years.
He has also taken legal action against her for comments made including accusations of extortion as he attempts to prove his innocence.

- Great article! I began cheering for the “real” doubles specialists at the beginning but once they all lost their respective matches I really didn’t care who actually won the whole tournament. I liked the last four teams in the semifinals and would have enjoyed seeing any of them win the trophy! Not sure it really feels like a TRUE Grand Slam win however (and I know history will say it is!). Happy for Muchova/Mensik. Karolina is now a Grand Slam winner.DaveyWavey27-08-2026
- …and Foseca ;)DaveyWavey25-08-2026
- All the men dropping like flies. Something’s gotta be done with the tournament calendar or many more players will be on the sidelines in the near future. Surprised Carlos is back as soon as he is. Get well soon Sinner, Draper, Fokina, Rune, etc. etc. etc……DaveyWavey25-08-2026
- I want Pegula to surprise as a one-slam wonder winning in New York. She would then jump over the other three ladies for a number one ranking! I’d put my money on the two American girlies, Jessica and Coco to win in New York. Rybakina cannot seem to perform under this kind of pressure and Sabalenka appears in an anger fog ATM.DaveyWavey24-08-2026
- Well said, Andy. I got sick of Nick carrying on and on and on about Sinner. He absolutely refused to look at the facts. Now look at him. Karma is real!!!Rapunzel23-08-2026
- The fact that ANDY RODDICK of all people has become the voice of “reason” is interesting. He’s absolutely correct about Kyrgios too. He’s become a tennis influencer who is a total hypocrite and bully! I agree with RODDICK 100%DaveyWavey23-08-2026
- Great article! Thiem was similar to Del Potro in that both men had won Grand Slams and injured wrists each stole their careers away. Sad really.DaveyWavey22-08-2026
- I’m not quite sure what’s happening with Sabalenka but she is horrible on court when she’s losing (which is a lot lately). If you cannot control your self at all once you start losing matches - especially at 28 - you need to see a therapist or take a break from the sport. Terrible attitude. This is what represents the women’s tennis tour? Yikes!DaveyWavey20-08-2026
- Love Halep’s post! Very pointed yet simple.DaveyWavey20-08-2026
- He’s such a hypocritical douche! I remember when Sinner was out for three months on his ban and Kyrgios made such disparaging comments towards him and how awful he was. He’s such a mess of a human being.DaveyWavey19-08-2026
