It seemed that the nightmare that had begun with Diego Schwartzman's unexpected defeat to the unknown Daniil Ostapenkov, unranked and barely 18 years old, would add a new chapter in the doubles.
It is that Horacio Zeballos and Máximo González had to run from behind against the executioner of Peque and Erik Arutiunian (16) in the first set of the match that opened Sunday's day at the Buenos Aires Lawn Tennis Club and finally achieved a hard-fought victory by 5 -7, 6-2 and 6-2 for the team captained by Gastón Gaudio to go ahead 2-1.
Once the lawsuit was defined, Zeballos did not walk around when it came to telling the sensations he had when that first set escaped.
"I was shit," admitted the world number 7 in doubles.
And he was not the only one.
"Me the same.
I was screwed up at first.
We started nervous and we were able to recover and raise the level ”, admitted González from Tandil, showing the pressure they felt beyond the great difference in filming they had against the two Belarusian kids.
The point that defined the doubles!

Now, Schwartzman will have the opportunity to take revenge for Saturday's tough defeat, unthinkable for a player who is 15th in the world rankings, and will seek to close the series so that Argentina can access a playoff to get into the finals of the Davis Cup 2022.
