In a recent interview with the ATPTour.com, Thiago Seyboth Wild spoke about how his life changed during the Tour suspension.
The young Brazilian enjoyed the breakthrough during the 2020 season when he climbed to 113th place of the ATP Ranking.
Seyboth Wild defeated Casper Ruud in the final of the Chile Open to win his first ATP Tour title still as a teenager. In a recent interview, he said:
"It's the hard work and the sacrifices I've made paying off. Giving your best on the court, working as hard as you can and leaving it all out there. It may not come in a month, it may not come in two months, but I can assure you that you'll be happy for what you've achieved. As a tennis player, your life is a routine," said Seyboth Wild. "You plan your weeks in advance, but you have stuff to do and many goals. Now, we don't have that anymore. We have to get used to life now. We have to go slowly and take as much care as we can."
"Now, I wake up at 7am and take the dog for a walk. At 8:30, I have to be at the academy to stretch and warm up for practice at 9. I hit until 11 and then do fitness until 1pm. That's going to change soon, because I'll be training in the morning and afternoon. I think getting back to normal life is what we're all hoping for. It's going to take a while, but let's make it as normal as we can."
"For two and a half months, I went back to my hometown, which was really nice. I've never had the opportunity to spend that much time with my family. It was really nice to be with them," admitted Seyboth Wild. "I have a guinea pig and another two dogs and it's really nice to spend time with them too. When I'm traveling on the tour, you don't get the time to do that."
