#NextGenATP Seyboth Wild Captures Maiden Title In Santiago

Spoiler:

Brazilian defeats Ruud on Sunday
#NextGenATP Brazilian Thiago Seyboth Wild arrived at the Chile Dove Men+Care Open hoping to gain more match experience on the ATP Tour. The wild card finished it by making history for Brazil, stunning second-seeded Norwegian Casper Ruud 7-5, 4-6, 6-3 for his maiden tour-level crown in Santiago.

The 19-year-old became the youngest Brazilian titlist in ATP Tour history and the youngest champion during the Golden Swing since an 18-year-old Rafael Nadal prevailed in 2005 Acapulco. He’s also the first #NextGenATP champion of this season and the first teenager to lift a tour-level title since a 19-year-old Alex de Minaur triumphed in 2019 Sydney.


At No. 182 in the FedEx ATP Rankings, Seyboth Wild is the lowest-ranked tour-level winner from Brazil in ATP Tour history. He’ll move to a new career-high standing on Monday when he leaps to No. 113.

The Brazilian has also put himself in prime position to grab one of the seven qualifying spots for this year's Next Gen ATP Finals, held from 10-14 November at the Allianz Cloud in Milan. Seyboth Wild leaped from 14th to second in the year-long ATP Race to Milan with his victory in Santiago.

Seyboth Wild weathered a challenging draw in Santiago, ousting fifth-seeded Argentine Juan Ignacio Londero in the second round before advancing past top seeded Cristian Garin when the Chilean retired due to a left leg injury. The teenager started the week with just two tour-level wins to his name.

Despite the loss, Ruud can be satisfied with his run in Santiago and start to the season. The 21-year-old Norwegian finished the Golden Swing with an 8-2 record and captured his maiden tour-level title two weeks ago in Buenos Aires (d. Sousa).

"He played amazing tennis all week. I can't be too upset about my loss," Ruud said. "He proved that he deserved his wild card and took very good care of his opportunity. Even though I'm not that experienced myself, I can see that he'll be around for many more years. Hopefully we can play many more finals together in the future."

Perhaps experiencing nerves in his first tour-level final, Seyboth Wild mistimed several forehands to drop his first two service games. But the Brazilian’s fighting spirit was on full display even when his peak form wasn’t. He saved five break points to hold serve at 1-3, earned the break back in the next game with a return winner and erased two more break points at 3-3.

Seyboth Wild was rewarded for his resistance in the final game of the set. With Ruud serving at 5-6, the second seed shanked a forehand on set point to give the Brazilian the early advantage.

The wild card maintained his momentum early in the second set, cruising through his service games while Ruud was twice forced to battle back from 0/30. With Seyboth Wild’s ATP Tour crown just two games away at 4-4, the magnitude of the occasion finally affected his tennis. He lost eight consecutive points with a stream of unforced errors to set up a decider.

Seyboth Wild quickly recovered from his patch of bad form, letting out a roar as a forehand error from Ruud gave him an early break and a 2-0 lead in the final set. The slight advantage was all he required. Seyboth Wild collapsed to the ground in delight after Ruud sent a backhand wide to end play after two hours and 17 minutes.

Seyboth Wild earned 250 FedEx ATP Rankings points and $101,285. Ruud picked up 150 points and $56,065.

What does winning your first ATP Tour title mean to you?
It’s an incredible achievement. It's something I've always dreamed about. I need to just take the best from the week and keep on going for the rest of the season.

Does this title come as a surprise for you or did you believe you were playing well enough to win the tournament?
As the matches went by and I was feeling myself on court, I felt like I could go step by step. When I got to the final, I needed to play it just like another match, like I had been playing the whole week and take my chances.

Last year was your breakthrough season on the ATP Challenger Tour. How important have Challengers been in preparing you to compete at this level?
It's not about the Challengers or any other tournament. It's about what I've taken from them and how I've improved along the season. I think I've done it pretty well and need to thank my team for that.

It’s still early in the season, but what would it mean for you to qualify for the Next Gen ATP Finals in Milan?
I think it would pretty much mean the same as Roger Federer or Rafael Nadal to qualify for the Nitto ATP Finals.

You’ve said that your favorite player is Nadal. What do you admire most about him?
His passion on the court. The way he plays, keeps himself on court and fights for everything is just amazing. It made me dream about everything he's done and if I could accomplish 20 per cent of what he's done in his career, that would be great.

Your father manages tennis academies. How involved was he with your tennis growing up?
He was the one who taught me how to play tennis. He was a player and he's always been there for me, always helped with me anything I need. He's just my father. He's an idol for me and always has been one.

How will you celebrate tonight?
I'm flying to Australia at 1:00am to play Davis Cup. But my birthday is on 10 March and I'm flying back home on 9 March, so I guess I'll just have to party after that.

Challenger At Home: Thiago Seyboth Wild

Spoiler:

Today's ATP Challenger Tour stars discuss how they have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, providing an exclusive glimpse into life at home.

Thiago Seyboth Wild talks about the current situation in Brazil, how he's getting back into a routine, what he misses most about the tour and introduces us to his new dog Malu.


The last time we saw Seyboth Wild, the Brazilian was lifting a trophy. But it wasn't just any trophy. Just two weeks shy of his 20th birthday, Seyboth Wild celebrated his maiden moment on the ATP Tour in Santiago in late February, taking home his first piece of silverware.

For the young Brazilian, it was a crowning achievement and one that he'll never forget. The unseeded wild card charged through a murderer's row of clay-court stars to capture his first tour-level crown. He toppled Argentines Facundo Bagnis and Juan Ignacio Londero to open his campaign, before earning his first Top 20 win over Cristian Garin in the quarter-finals. A 6-1, 6-3 rout over Renzo Olivo would book his spot in the final, where he capped a fairytale week with a tight three-set victory over Casper Ruud.

Seyboth Wild entered the tournament with just one match win in 2020, but he found his form in a hurry. His victory in Santiago was a surprise to many. After all, the 20-year-old had never previously reached an ATP Tour quarter-final and was standing outside the Top 200 when the month began. But, as Seyboth Wild proved, hard work goes a long way.

"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."

Seyboth Wild's impressive run in Santiago can be attributed to a breakthrough on the ATP Challenger Tour at the end of the 2019 season. A 10-1 finish to his campaign was punctuated with a maiden Challenger crown in Guayaquil, Ecuador. He sprinted to the title on the clay of Guayaquil, dropping just one set in six matches.

Now, up to a career-high No. 114 in the FedEx ATP Rankings - and second in the ATP Race To Milan - Seyboth Wild is soaring towards the Top 100. But first, the #NextGenATP star is taking on a new challenge in his native Brazil. With the country emerging as a COVID-19 hotspot, he admits his priorities and daily routine have changed.

"As a tennis player, your life is a routine. 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."

Seyboth Wild has been in quarantine in Rio de Janiero with his girlfriend and his pets, which include a newly adopted dog named Malu. As he explains, he's cherishing the opportunity to spend time with loved ones and enjoy these rare moments at home with Malu.

"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. 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."
