Thursday’s defeats by Federico Delbonis and Pedro Cachín in the second round of Roland Garros they left Diego Schwartzmann as the only Argentine survivor in the individual competition at the clay courts of Paris, where the pass to the round of 16 will be played this Friday.
Schwartzman (world number 16) will face Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov (ranked 21) for a spot in the Grand Slam round of 16 on clay. From 6 (Argentina time), by ESPN.
The Argentine reached the third round after beating Spaniard Jaume Munar in five sets, in a very difficult battle for Schwartzman, as he had to return from two sets after a very doubtful start.
Peque’s goal is to get close to his best ranking in this tournament, the 2020 semifinals.
Schwartzman and Dimitrov have clashed four times, with three wins for the Bulgarian, the last of them on the 4th of this month in the Madrid tournament, and also in a massive way (6-0 and 6-3).
However, the Argentine was warning after his victory Dimitrov “He will be uncomfortable if I play like the last one (from the battle against Munar) “.
Regarding Dimitrov, he said that “this year he played better, in Madrid he had a great game and he hit me with a stick (sic), as we say. I don’t think the same thing happens in two consecutive games. Beyond confidence, there are five sets, two are not enough. If I play well, I will have a chance, “he confessed.
