In the first quarter-final of the tournament, almost all the balls were as entertaining as where the baseline game dominated.
After a strong start from Argentina’s Schartzman, Dominic Thiem had managed to pinch the second set and then managed what turned out to be a decisive grip for the match until the fourth.
During the match, the two players had managed to break each other’s server, but when Thiem was in decisive position, Schwartzman kept up the press without giving Thiem a single match ball.
In the tiebreaker, he saved the game to 2-2 and when the fifth and decisive began, there was never a talk about who was more alert after four and a half hours.
When the semifinals are won, Argentina’s Schwartzman will have to face Spanish, twelve-time French Open champion Rafael Nadal, or Italian teenager Jannick Sinner.
If world number two Rafael Nadal becomes the Argentine’s opponent, Schwartzman will enter the game with good confidence when he beat Nadal in Rome two weeks ago.
