The “Peque” Schwartzman, Born in the City of Buenos Aires and ranked 15th in the ATP world rankings, he was tightly surpassed by the Californian Tread (57), who is going through the best moment of his career, after 2 hours and 13 minutes of play, in the first match between them.
Schwartzman had appeared in Paris yesterday with a laborious victory over the Australian John Millman (73) by 7-6 (2), 5-7 and 6-2; while he had surpassed his compatriot the day before in the initial round Frances Tiafoe (41) by 6-7 (5-7), 6-4 and 6-3.
Tread will play in the round of 16 against the Norwegian Casper Ruud (8), who debuted directly in the second round with a win over the Kazakh Alexander Bublik (36) by 6-4 and 6-0.
The top favorite in Paris, the competition played on a fast surface at the Palais Omnisports de Bercy, is the Serbian Novak Djokovic, No. 1 in the world and winner of the 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2019 editions, while the second seed is the Russian Daniil Medvedev (2), who defends the title he won in 2020 and eliminated the Belarusian in the last round Ilya Ivashka (46) whom he defeated 7-5 and 6-4.
The only Argentine to lift the trophy in Paris was David Nalbandian from Cordoba, Unquillo, who won the 2007 edition after beating Spaniard Rafael Nadal in the final..
In the race to enter the Masters, a tournament that brings together the best eight tennis players of the season, Diego Schwartzman, No. 15 in the world, was left behind and his classification very complicated.
The Argentine is almost 10,000 points behind the eighth, the Norwegian Casper Ruud, who accumulates 2760 units against 3670 of the “Peque”.
