DUSTED IN PARIS

Monday’s upset loss to 172ndranked Thiago Seybolt Wild left No. 2 seed Daniil Medvedev with a bad taste at the clay-court French Open in Paris. “I had a mouthful of clay since probably the third game of the match, and I don’t like it. I don’t know if people like to eat clay, to have clay in their bags, in their shoes, the socks — white socks, you can throw them (into the) garbage after clay season,” said Medvedev, who won the 2021 U.S. Open and reached three other major finals on hard courts. “Maybe some people like it. I don’t.” Seybolt Wild won 7-6 (5), 6-7 (8), 2-6, 6-3, 6-4.
