Diego Schwartzman was on course to reach the Champions Tour in 2020, but he had a nightmare in 2023 and this season started just as badly for the Argentinian. After being eliminated in the first round of ATP Buenos Aires, the former world number eight posted an emotional message on social media.
Diego Schwartzman: “If it doesn’t work out, I can look back and be more than happy”
Diego has lost 6 of his last 7 matches and is ranked 116th in the ATP rankings. After losing in three sets to Daniel Elahi Galan (6-2, 1-6, 4-6), Schwartzman thanked the fans for their support and talked about the difficult time he is going through.
“It’s hard to describe the sporting moment I’m experiencing. Weeks pass and there is no response from the field… I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart, you have no idea how nice it is to feel such encouragement and support as you do with me, on and off the field.
There will always be some criticism, but that’s part of the sport and you have to stand up. I was taught from a young age to keep my head up and keep trying.
With humility, hard work, education and respect, I will continue this quest. And if it doesn’t work out, I can look back and be more than happy for what I’ve achieved and for the people who have always been by my side” – Diego Schwartzman.
Cuesta describir el momento deportivo que estoy pasando. Las semanas pasan y las respuestas adentro de la chacha no aparen… quiero agreador de corazón a toda la gente, no saben lo lindo y lo que representa sentirme en este momento bankado y alentado como lo hacen adentro pic.twitter.com/jGpgOrDL4L
