Diego Schwartzmann prepares his debut at the US Open, the last Grand Slam of the season, which will be this Tuesday at a time to be confirmed and against the dangerous locals Jack Sock. Late Sunday evening, the Argentinian, seeded 16, trained at Louis Armstrong Stadium – one of the main USTA competition complexes in New York – and had a special visitor: actor Ben Stiller.
Known is the good relationship that both have formed in recent years, born when Peque’s match overshadowed the Hollywood actor in the quarter-finals of the 2019 edition against Spaniard Rafael Nadal. Also last year they dined with the partner of the tennis player Eugenia de Martino.
And this Sunday, the star of iconic American comedies such as “Zoolander”, “My Girlfriend’s Family”, “My Girlfriend Polly” and “A Night at the Museum” accompanied the Buenos Aires native in an open practice with the public.
So, at some point, fans started chanting the actor’s name, who made a proposal to Schwartzman, that he had finished training and that due to his sweating and high laps he was recovering on his bench. .
“You and me on one side in front of them?”you can hear Stiller proposing, racket in hand and sitting next to the exhausted Peque Schwartzman.
The Argentine, with quick reflexes, retorted so that Stiller could play with a third interlocutor who does not appear in the video – probably his coach Juan Ignacio Chela – and handed the actor a ball, which he accepted and raised to generate an ovation from the audience.
The end of the story was for those in attendance at Louis Armstrong Stadium, since a short De Martino story was nowhere to be seen where Stiller – left-handed – hits a drive and receives compliments from Schwartzman.
