An Argentinean impressively advanced to the semi-finals of the prestigious Roland Garros tennis tournament in the Big Accent series in Paris, France. Diego Schwartzmanas (ATP-14). An epic marathon of 5 hours and 8 minutes followed. 7: 6 (7: 1), 5: 7, 6: 7 (6: 8), 7: 6 (7: 5), 6: 2 oysters removed Dominica Thiema (ATP-3).

In the first set, Thiem had taken the lead (4: 2), but then lost the lead (4: 4), losing up to five points in a row at the start of extra time and no longer in a row. In the second set, the Austrians again dispersed the advantage (2: 0, 3: 1, 3: 3), and in the ninth game they even squandered 7 (!) “Break points”. True, in the eleventh game, D. Thiemas broke up again at 40:15 during the opponent’s innings and this time he did not make a mistake.

The third set was extremely changeable. D. Thiem started it from the opponent’s winning series of innings, then D. Schwartzman responded with a 3: 0 streak, but D. Thiem also realized a “break point”, and the result became the same ( 3: 3). The Argentine, who won the rival series in the eighth game, came close to winning, but lost his series in the ninth game and failed to achieve a set point in the tenth game. In the eleventh game, D. Thiem already won his passing series, but he didn’t consolidate the victory either, because D. Schwartzman realized the “breaking point” right here. Let’s continue, the Argentine almost created a miracle. He was 1: 5 behind, but restored balance (6: 6). However, D. Thiem soon won the ball past the opponent and finished his impressive set with his pass.

There was no shortage of drama in the fourth set again. Austras started better (2: 0), but then lost two sets of his innings, and Schwartzman ran 4: 0. The Argentine led 5: 4 and 40: 0, but could not finish the set so calmly. Thiem neutralized three set points, won a series of passes from the opponent and miraculously equaled the score (5: 5). In the eleventh game, D. Schwartzman formed a “breaking point” but failed to win a series of opponents. However, he managed to show his advantage in extra time, in which both players played poorly during their passes. Schwartzman was the first to create the opportunity to win overtime (6: 5) and realized it during the opponent’s innings.

In the deciding set, the equal fight continued until the sixth game, when D. Schwartzman suddenly “dry” won the opponent’s series of innings. Soon the Argentine played hard during his innings and was already 5: 2. In the eighth game, Schwartzman found himself on the winning spot. D. Thiem then badly “shortened” the ball and lost a real tennis marathon.

For the 28-year-old Argentine, it was the biggest victory of his career. He will play the semifinals of the Big Accent tournament for the first time.

Schwartzman’s opponent in the semifinals will be revealed tonight when the Spaniard Rafaelis Nadalis (ATP-2) will meet with an Italian Janniku Sinneriu (ATP-75). Due to the other prolonged matches, the start of this duel will be significantly delayed.
