Due to his physical handicap, the 30-year-old from Buenos Aires had a lot of work to overcome the initial round of the ocean open into Ukrainian Oleksii Krutykh by 6-4, 6-7, 6-3 and 7-6 in three hours and 55 minutes.
Wolf, 24, is playing his first Australian Open but last season he added valuable victories against the Danish Holger Rune and the canadian Denis Shapovalov.
The first set was defined in just 26 minutes with a erratic schwartzman, who improved her serve a bit in the second set. However, the American broke his serve in the ninth game (they were 4-4), and won the second set, a situation that was repeated in the third in the same game.
Wolf will now play against his compatriot michael mmoh (109 in the ATP and 25 years old) who gave the surprise by beating the German Alexander Zverer (13) by 6-7 (tie break of 7-1), 6-4, 6-3 and 6-2.
Now the only Argentine who continues in the Open is Francisco Cerundolo (30 and 24 years old) who tomorrow will play in the second round against the Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime (7 and 22 years old).
