Schwartzman, ranked 15th in the ATP world ranking, beat Auger Aliassime (9) in two hours and 12 minutes of play, in his second presentation this Friday, and entered the top four.
In the next instance, Schwartzman will meet this Saturday with the Spanish Pablo Carreño Busta (19), who later beat the Norwegian Casper Ruud (7).
In the morning, “Peque” beat Italian Lorenzo Musetti (68) 6-4, 7-5, in two hours and five minutes. As Thursday’s day in Barcelona was postponed due to rain, the best national tennis player had to play twice on the same day.
The 29-year-old from Buenos Aires had debuted in the Catalan tournament last Wednesday with a win in straight sets over the American Mackenzie McDonald (51) 6-2, 6-2, and on this day he achieved his second victory over Musetti in a week, since he had also beaten him at the Masters 1000 in Monte Carlo by 2-6, 6-4 and 6-3.
The Barcelona ATP, which will award the Conde de Godó trophy, is played at the Real Club de Tenis and its top winner is the Spanish Rafael Nadal with 12 titles and absent in this edition due to a rib injury.
The top favorite is the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas, champion last Sunday at the Masters 1000 in Monte Carlo, and the two Argentines who won the tournament were Martín Jaite in 1987 and Gastón Gaudio in 2002.
