Diego Schwartzman, current tennis number one in South America and the top favorite for the title at the Argentina Open, makes his presentation this Thursday (not before 8 pm) against the Slovakian Lukas Klein in the outgoing match of the round of 16 programming.
The
Peque
Schwartzman (9), finalist in Buenos Aires in the edition 2019 and a
semifinalist last year, collides against Klein (291), a player emerged from qualifying, in the party that closed the day on center court of the Buenos Aires Lawn Tennis Club and with televising of the TyC Sports signal.
"
Losing in the quarterfinals in Córdoba hurt me
, but it was something that could happen, since I never felt comfortable on the court. My wish is that it doesn't happen to me here in Buenos Aires, I want to reach the final stages," he analyzed the
Peque
Schwartzman, 28, at a press conference that offered via Zoom.
Schwartzman, ninth in the ATP world ranking, had been a finalist in Córdoba in the 2020 edition (he lost to Chilean Cristian Garín), but last week he played below his level and fell to Catalan Albert Ramos (46) 6-1, 4-6 and 6-3 in a game in which he made an unusual number of unforced errors.
