Court 7, fourth match
Thiago Seyboth Wild vs Yu Hsiou Hsu
Three years ago, Thiago was the talk of Roland Garros: he had just knocked out Daniil Medvedev, then the No.2 seed, in the opening round. And he was a qualifier, to boot. In fact, he had not played a tour level match in more than a year as he approached Paris but on the Challenger circuit and on the clay, he had been racking up the wins. It was, he thought, a dream come true as he marched on to the third round. He soon woke up to reality, though, and he has never made such a splash at a Grand Slam again. Starting out on the qualifying path once more, he faces the world No.213 from Yuanlin who has never reached the main draw here.
