The Argentinian Diego Schwartzman was left out of the main draw of the Cincinnati Masters 1000, losing in three sets with the Russian Alexander Shevchenkoin a match for the second round of qualifying.
The tennis player from Buenos Aires, 30 years old and in position 98 of the ATP world ranking, fell with Shevchenko, 22 and in 93rd place in the ranking, with partials of 6-1, 3-6 and 6-3, after an hour and 43 minutes of litigation.
