Diego
Peque
Schwartzman
(37th) was able to cut a mark of five consecutive defeats in Monte Carlo but his bad streak continues to haunt him.
If something was missing from the hard moment that the Argentine tennis player is going through, this time he had to leave injured in his left shoulder and leave his match corresponding to the second round of the Masters 1000 of the principality against the Italian Jannik Sinner (8th
)
.
Despite the sad outcome of the match, Peque was not having a good time on the scoreboard because Sinner had been calmly dominating the process of the game:
the Italian surpassed him 6-1 and 3-0 in just 42 minutes of action
.
After feeling the discomfort in his shoulder, Schwartzman decided to put an end to the suffering and withdrew from the game.
The 30-year-old tennis player will undergo studies to determine the severity of his injury, which occurs at the worst possible moment: the start of the tour on brick dust and when there are a few weeks left before the start of Roland Garros.
With this result, Sinner advanced to the round of 16 of the competition and will face the Polish
Hubert Hurkacz
(13th).

The Argentine player was signed up to start participating from next Monday in the Catalan
Conde de Godó
tournament , in Barcelona, although now his participation is unknown until the moment the injury he suffered in this morning's game is known.
In the face of Schwartzman's defeat, the only representative of the country turns out to be
Franco Cerúndolo
(33rd), who debuted with a good straight-set victory over
Cameron Norrie
(14th) and will play his respective match against the Italian
Matteo Berrettini
(22), starting at 12:10 Argentine hours.
In the event that Cerúndolo wins, he will face the Austrian Dominic Thiem
(106) or the Danish
Holger Rune
(9)
in the round of 16 .
