Seyboth Wild on his heated exchange with Fils: "We both overreacted".

Beaten by Arthur Fils in the Davis Cup, Thiago Seyboth Wild had a few words for the Frenchman during the handshake.

In a press conference, the 76th-ranked player in the world looked back on the handshake and expressed his regrets: "The chair umpire made the wrong decision, which influenced the result. We all make mistakes, it happens. But it was an important mistake.

It changed the dynamic of the match. With Arthur, it was just in the heat of the moment. We exchanged a few words, we both exaggerated.

He's a good guy. I'm just disappointed with the chair umpire's mistake."

For his part, Fils also calmed things down in front of the media: "I don't think he touched the ball. It's the chair umpire's decision, it's unfortunate.

When you end a match like that, with that atmosphere, there's frustration on both sides. But everything's fine. We bumped into each other, we had a chance to talk."
