Diego Schwartzman didn’t expect to come through today’s clash with seventh-seeded Nicolas Jarry at the Argentina Open in Buenos Aires. Playing in his last professional event, the former World No.8 is ready for the next phase of his life to start.
But when he’s on the red clay in his home country, you can never count him out.
He just can’t help playing lion-hearted tennis, and the 32-year-old did that again on Wednesday as he edged Jarry 7-6(10), 4-6, 6-3, to prolong his career and set a second-round clash with Spain’s Pedro Martinez.
“I expected to lose, if I’m honest,” said Schwartzman after the match.. “I was expecting to cry a little after the match and be ready for emotion, but not for the win.”
It was a rough day at the office for Jarry, who committed 79 unforced errors, but credit Schwartzman…
