Diego Sebastián Schwartzman (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈdjeɣo seβasˈtjan ˈʃwaɾtsman],[4][5] German: [ˈʃvaʁtsman]; born 16 August 1992) is an Argentine former professional tennis player. He has won four ATP singles titles and reached his career-high singles ranking of world No. 8 in October 2020.[6][7] As a clay court specialist, his best results have been on this surface. He is noted for his high-quality return game.[8][9][10][11]

When he reached the quarterfinals of the 2017 US Open, the 170-centimetre (5 ft 7 in) Schwartzman was the shortest Grand Slam quarterfinalist since the equally tall Jaime Yzaga at the 1994 US Open.[12][13] Schwartzman said: "It's not just for the big guys here."[14]

Schwartzman reached his first Masters final at the 2020 Italian Open, defeating defending champion and world No. 2, Rafael Nadal, in straight sets, and Denis Shapovalov along the way. He lost to Novak Djokovic in the final. A month later, at the 2020 French Open, he defeated world No. 3 Dominic Thiem to reach his maiden Grand Slam semifinal, where he became the shortest man to reach a Grand Slam singles semifinal since the 5-foot-6-inch (168 cm) American Harold Solomon at the 1980 French Open.

In May 2024, Schwartzman announced he would retire from professional tennis in 2025 after the Argentina Open.

Early life

[edit]

Schwartzman is of Ashkenazi Jewish descent,[15][16][17] and is the son of Ricardo Sebastián and Silvana Schwartzman.[18] He was born and resides in Buenos Aires, Argentina.[6] During The Holocaust, his Polish-Jewish maternal great-grandfather was put on a train to a Nazi concentration camp.[19] The coupling that connected two of the train's cars broke, allowing his great-grandfather and others inside one car to escape.[19] His great-grandfather brought his family by boat from Germany to Argentina.[19][20] His father's ancestors emigrated from Russia to Argentina by boat.[19]

Growing up, Schwartzman played tennis at Club Náutico Hacoaj, a Jewish-Argentine sports club in Buenos Aires that was established by and for Jews who were not allowed to join other sports clubs in the city in the early 20th century.[21][22] At junior tournaments, Schwartzman often faced antisemitic catcalls. On the ATP Tour, he has endured less antisemitism, but at the 2017 US Open, a spectator shouted, "Jewish people are not allowed here" in the direction of Schwartzman.[23]

Schwartzman's family owned a successful clothing and jewelry company.[19] However, around the time Schwartzman was born, the family became quite poor because of the Argentine great depression.[19] To afford the expenses of tennis, Schwartzman and his mother would sell bracelets at his junior tennis tournaments.[19]

Schwartzman has two brothers (one a software developer, the other a travel agent) and a sister (a lawyer).[24][25] Schwartzman's nickname is El Peque (an abbreviation of the word "pequeño", meaning "Shorty" in Spanish).[26][8]

Career

[edit]

Junior career

[edit]

Schwartzman did not have an illustrious junior career and peaked at an ITF junior ranking of No. 217. At age 13, he began traveling across South America to play in junior tournaments.[6] He saw success at that level and began receiving funding to pay for travel, equipment, and coaching expenses.[6] The only junior Grand Slam he played in was the 2010 US Open, where he lost in the first round of qualifying.[6]

2010–13

[edit]

In 2010, at the age of 17, he won the Bolivia F3 Futures (CL), and in 2011 he won the Chile F14 Futures (CL).[27] In 2012, Schwartzman won titles at the Peru F2 Futures (CL), Argentina F11 Futures (CL), Argentina F14 Futures (CL), Argentina F20 Futures (CL), Argentina F21 Futures (CL), Argentina F22 Futures (CL), and Buenos Aires Challenger (CL).[28] At the 2013 Australian Open, he lost in the final round of qualifying.[29]

2014: Four Challenger titles & ATP Challenger Tour Finals champion

[edit]

Schwartzman made his first appearance in the main draw of a Grand Slam event at the French Open; he came through qualifying before making it to the second round, where he lost to Roger Federer.[30] He lost in the first round of the US Open to Novak Djokovic.[29]

He won four titles in the ATP Challenger Tour—at Aix-en-Provence, Prague, Campinas, and San Juan. In the Challenger Tour Finals, he won over João Souza, Simone Bolelli, and Guilherme Clezar to claim the title. At the end of the season, Schwartzman was ranked No. 61 worldwide.[27]

2015: Davis Cup semifinals

[edit]
Diego Schwartzman, 2015

Schwartzman's best result of the season came at the Istanbul Open, where he reached the semifinals, beating former top-ten player Jürgen Melzer along the way. He faced tennis legend Roger Federer in the semifinals. Schwartzman won the first set decisively before ultimately falling 7–5 in the final set.[29] He was also part of the Argentine Davis Cup Team, which reached the semifinals in 2015.[31]

2016: First ATP title

[edit]
Diego Schwartzman, 2016

Schwartzman won his first-ever singles title at the Istanbul Open—an outdoor 250 clay court event. He impressively defeated established top player Grigor Dimitrov in the final, coming back to win 6–0 in the final set after losing the first set in a tie-break. Later, Dimitrov apologized for his behavior during the match after he smashed three rackets, which ultimately led to a warning, a point penalty, and another point penalty. The second and final point penalty came with Dimitrov down 5–0 and gave the game, set, and match to Schwartzman.[32]

In October, Schwartzman reached his second final at the 250 level in Antwerp. He lost to Richard Gasquet, 6–7, 1–6.[29] In 2016, he led all ATP players in the percentage of break points converted, at 46.6%.[33]

2017: US Open quarterfinals

[edit]
Diego Schwartzman, 2017

Schwartzman reached the third round at the French Open, where he faced Novak Djokovic. He had a 2–1 set lead, but eventually, Djokovic won in five sets.[34]

In the Canadian Open, the 25-year-old saved four match points to pull off a remarkable 4–6, 7–6, 7–5 upset of No. 3 seed Dominic Thiem, his first-ever win over a top-10 player.[35] As of mid-August 2017, Schwartzman was leading the ATP Tour in winning percentage in return games at 36 percent (192/532), with Nadal in second place and Djokovic in fourth place.[10]

On 1 September, Schwartzman upset world No. 7 and 5th seed, Marin Čilić in the third round of the US Open to equal the biggest win of his career. On 3 September, he beat world No. 20 and 16th seed, Lucas Pouille, in the fourth round to reach his first career major quarterfinal. In the quarterfinals, he lost to Pablo Carreño Busta.

Schwartzman's 2017 season proved to be the best of his career to that point. He finished the year ranked world No. 25; in addition to making his first major quarterfinal, he also made two quarterfinals at the Masters 1000 level. He won 39 singles matches and earned $1,536,000 over the course of the season, easily besting his previous records of 17 match wins and $441,000 in the 2016 season.[36] In 2017, he led all ATP players in the percentage of second serve return points won (56.1%) and percentage of return games won (34.8%) while coming in third behind Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal in the percentage of first serve return points won (34.3%).[33] Finally, he scored his first win over a top-10 player, and then just two weeks later, he racked up a second top-10 win.[citation needed]

2018: Second ATP title, top-15 ranking & second Grand Slam quarterfinal

[edit]

In his first 17 Grand Slam tournaments, Schwartzman had only reached the third round once. However, at the 2018 Australian Open, he advanced to the fourth round, where he played world No. 1, Rafael Nadal. For the first time in his career, Schwartzman made the second week at a major for the second consecutive time, following his quarterfinal showing at the 2017 US Open. Despite going into the match with an 0-3 head-to-head record, 0–7 in sets, Schwartzman took the second-set tiebreak 7-4 before eventually going down in four sets. By virtue of his performance, he reached a new career-high singles ranking of No. 24 on 29 January 2018.[37]

He then went on to capture the title at the Rio Open, an ATP 500-level clay tournament, defeating Fernando Verdasco 6–2, 6–3. The Rio Open marked the biggest title of Schwartzman's career thus far. He reached a new career-high singles ranking of No. 15 on 2 April 2018 and was the first Jewish male player to break into the singles top 20 since Nicolás Massú was ninth in 2004.[29][38][21] At the French Open, Schwartzman made it into his second Grand Slam quarterfinal. He didn't drop a set on his run to the fourth round, where he faced sixth seed and world No. 7, Kevin Anderson, and won in just under four hours after coming back from two sets to love down for the first time in his career. Questioned by reporters as to how he defeated the 6’ 8″ Anderson, he replied: "Did you read David and Goliath?"[39] In the quarterfinals, he took the first set from Rafael Nadal, but it started raining, and the match was postponed to the next day where Nadal won the following three sets.[40] His quarterfinal showing marked his third consecutive Grand Slam tournament, where he made it to the second week of competition.

Schwartzman participated in only two grass court events in 2018; they included the Eastbourne International and Wimbledon. Although Schwartzman was the No. 1 seed, he fell in three sets in the first round to Mirza Bašić. At Wimbledon, Schwartzman scored his first career grass-court win by defeating Mirza Bašić in straight sets before falling in the second round to Jiří Veselý.

Schwartzman reached the quarterfinals of the 2018 German Open but fell to eventual finalist Leonardo Mayer in three sets. In 2018 he was second to Nadal among all ATP players in the percentage of second-serve return points won (55.8%) and percentage of return games won (30.7%).[33]

2019: Third ATP title, first Masters final & Major semifinal in doubles

[edit]

He went on to make the finals at the Argentina Open, an ATP 250-level clay tournament.[41] On his way to the finals, Schwartzman defeated world No. 8, Dominic Thiem, 2–6, 6–4, 7–6[41] but he lost in straight sets to Marco Cecchinato in the finals.[42] Schwartzman was unable to defend his title at the Rio Open, retiring in the second set with a right leg injury in the first round.

At the US Open, Schwartzman upset world No. 6, Alexander Zverev, in four sets in the fourth round, for his sixth career victory against a top-10 opponent.[44] In the quarter-finals he fell to eventual champion Rafael Nadal.

In Vienna at the Erste Bank Open in October, Schwartzman beat world No. 9, Karen Khachanov of Russia, in straight sets and world No. 14, Gaël Monfils. Dominic Thiem defeated him in the final.[45]

In 2019, as he had done in 2017, Schwartzman led all ATP players in the percentage of second-serve return points won (56.1%).[46] For the years 2015–19, of all match-winning tennis players he led in winning percentage against second serves (60%), and against first serves (37.9%).[47] Career-wise, he was fourth among active players in return games won (31.1%), behind only Nadal (33.5%), Djokovic (32%), and Andy Murray (31.7%).[46]

At the French Open, Schwartzman defeated world No. 3 Dominic Thiem in the quarterfinals in a five-set match that took five hours and eight minutes to complete.[56] It was his ninth career win over a top-10 player.[57] In a rematch of the Italian Open quarterfinals, he was defeated by Nadal in straight sets in Schwartzman's first major semifinals, where he became the shortest man to reach a Grand Slam singles semi-final since 168-centimetre (5 ft 6 in) Harold Solomon at the 1980 French Open.[58][59]

The following week Schwartzman was ranked No. 8 in the world, his first time ranked in the top 10 singles players.[60][53] He was the shortest player in the top 10 since Harold Solomon in 1981.

[edit]
Schwartzman at the Boodles Exhibition Challenge, 2023

Schwartzman struggled in the beginning of the 2023 season and he fell out of the top-30 ATP singles rankings for the first time since 2017. He dealt with a leg injury in the beginning of the year, which forced him to retire after one set in the 2023 ASB Classic. He lost in straight sets in the second round of the 2023 Australian Open to JJ Wolf. He also failed to win a match during the Golden Swing, which has historically been one of his most successful portions of the season.

He showed improvement in the North American hard court portion of the season reaching the second round of the Indian Wells Masters and the third round of the Miami Open. He lost in the first round at the 2023 Italian Open to Matteo Arnaldi.[81] Schwartzman also reached the second round in Monte Carlo and the third at the 2023 French Open upsetting 32nd seed Bernabé Zapata Miralles and Nuno Borges[82] before losing to 5th seed Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets.

He became the tenth Argentinian man with 250 wins in the Open Era.[86]

2024–25: Three wildcards, announcement of retirement, 11th US Open appearance

[edit]

Schwartzman participated in the Golden Swing, similar to his previous season, he was a direct entry at the 2024 Córdoba Open, and received wildcards for the 2024 Argentina Open,[87] the 2024 Los Cabos Open[88] and the ATP 500 2024 Abierto Mexicano Telcel but lost in all four tournaments in the first round. After early setbacks, he managed to qualify for the main draw at the 2024 Miami Open,[89] and at the Italian Open.[90]

In May 2024, Schwartzman announced he will retire from professional tennis after the Argentina Open in 2025.[91][92] He played his last match at Roland Garros in qualifying, losing in the second round to Quentin Halys.[93][94]

Ranked No. 246, he qualified for the US Open, making his eleventh appearance at this Major, defeating Andrea Pellegrino,[95] top qualifying seed and compatriot Thiago Agustin Tirante and top Lithuanian player Vilius Gaubas.[96][97][98]

Playing style

[edit]

Schwartzman is a baseline player with solid groundstrokes on both wings and the ability to counterpunch and go on the offensive. He is known for the clean hitting off both his forehand and backhand and can take the ball on the rise and hit it with depth and pace. Analysts consider that he plays well on the defensive due to his speed and ability to hit winners from defensive positions far out of the court. His speed also allows him to retrieve drop shots and hit passing shots easily.[citation needed]

Schwartzman has a consistent, though not outstanding, serve and arguably plays better on the return than on serve. In 2017, he statistically led the ATP on return games, and second-serve points won. He also possesses solid volleys and prefers the drop volley, though they are not a major weapon in his game.[citation needed]

Schwartzman's speed and powerful baseline game have resulted in most of his success coming on clay rather than hard courts or grass. However, in the past few years, he has attempted to add more variety to his game, resulting in breakthroughs, particularly on grass, scoring his first-ever win on grass only in 2018.[citation needed]
