The Argentine is in the semifinals of the French Open thanks to a close five-set victory against the Austrian.
Diego Schwartzman did it at 5:08 am. The 28-year-old ended the gripping police thriller against Dominic Thiem with his first match point. Thanks to the victory of 7: 6 (7: 1), 5: 7, 6: 7 (6: 8), 7: 6 (7: 5) and 6: 2, the Argentine reached the semifinals.
The two opponents had previously fought a fantastic battle of attrition with numerous fantastic rallies. Schwartzman secured the first set in the tiebreak, the Austrian managed to equalize thanks to a 7: 5 in round 2. Later, too, the match was on a razor’s edge. And so the third set also entered the tiebreak. This time Thiem narrowly won, 3:24 hours had already been played.
Anyone who would have now thought that Schwartzman’s resistance had been broken was very wrong. The 28-year-old quickly took the lead with a break in the fourth set. With 5: 4 he served to equalize the set, but with 40: 0 he could not take advantage of 3 opportunities. Then he was more efficient in the tie break. With his first opportunity ended the short decision and forced the decision sentence.
Thiem’s strength decreases – Schwartzman recovers
There, Thiem’s strength visibly diminished. The preliminary decision was finally made with a score of 3: 2 from Schwartzman’s point of view. He secured the breakup immediately. He could not be denied this advantage and reached a Grand Slam semi-final for the first time in his career. There he meets Rafael Nadal or Jannik Sinner.
