Diego Sebastián Schwartzman (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈdjeɣo seβasˈtjan ˈʃwaɾdzman],[2][3] German: [ˈʃvaʁtsman]; born 16 August 1992) is an Argentine professional tennis player competing on the ATP Tour. He has won two ATP singles titles, and reached his career-high singles ranking of world No. 11 on 11 June 2018.[4] He is a clay court specialist, and is noted for his high-quality return game.[5][6][7]
Personal life
Schwartzman is Jewish,[8][9] and is the son of Ricardo and Silvana Schwartzman.[10] He was born and resides in Buenos Aires, Argentina.[10] His family had emigrated from Germany to Argentina.[11] He has two brothers (one is a computer programmer, and the other is a travel agent), and a sister who is a lawyer.[12][13]
Schwartzman's nickname is El Peque (an abbreviation of the word "pequeño", meaning "Shorty" in Spanish).[14][5] As a youth, he played tennis at the Hacoaj JCC sport club.[15]
Career
2010–13
In 2010 at the age of 17 he won the Bolivia F3 Futures (CL), and in 2011 he won the Chile F14 Futures (CL).[16] 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).[17] At the 2013 Australian Open, he lost in the final round of qualifying.[18]
2014; four Challenger titles
Schwartzman made his first appearance in the main draw of a Grand Slam event at the 2014 French Open; he came through qualifying before making it to the second round, where he lost to Roger Federer.[19] He lost in the first round of the 2014 US Open to Novak Djokovic.[18]
In the ATP Challenger Tour, he won four titles at Aix-en-Provence, Prague, Campinas, and San Juan. In the ATP Challenger Tour Finals, he won over João Souza, Simone Bolelli, and Guilherme Clezar to claim the title. At the end of 2014 he was ranked # 61 in the world.[16]
2015; Istanbul Open semifinals

Schwartzman's best result of the season came at the 2015 Istanbul Open, where he reached the semifinals, beating former top-ten player Jurgen Melzer along the way. In the semis he faced tennis legend Roger Federer. Schwartzman won the first set decisively, before ultimately falling 7-5 in the final set.[18] He was also part of the Argentine Davis Cup Team, which reached the semifinals in 2015.[20]
2016: Istanbul Open championship
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/45/Schwartzman_WM16_%2813%29_%2827801639234%29.jpg/220px-Schwartzman_WM16_%2813%29_%2827801639234%29.jpg)
Schwartzman won his first-ever singles title at the 2016 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 then another point penalty. The second and final point penalty came with Dimitrov down 5-0 and gave the game, set, and match to Schwartzman.[21]
In October Schwartzman reached his second final at the 250 level, in Antwerp. He lost to Richard Gasquet 6-7, 1-6 in the final.[18]
2017: US Open quarterfinals
Schwartzman reached the 3rd round at the 2017 French Open, where he faced Novak Djokovic. He had a 2-1 set lead, but eventually Djokovic won in five sets.[22]
In the 2017 Canadian Open the 25-year-old saved four match points to pull off a remarkable 4-6, 7-6(7), 7-5 upset of No. 3 seed Dominic Thiem (No. 7 in the world), his first-ever win over a top-10 player.[23] As of mid-August 2017, he was leading the ATP tour in winning percentage in return games at 36 per cent (192/532), with Nadal in second place and Djokovic in fourth place.[7]
On September 1, he defeated world No. 7, and 5th seed, Marin Cilic in the third round at the 2017 US Open to equal the biggest win of his career. On September 3, he beat world No. 20, and 16th seed, Lucas Pouille in the fourth round to reach his first career major quarterfinal. At 5' 7" (170 cm), Schwartzman was the shortest Grand Slam quarterfinalist since Jaime Yzaga (5' 7" at the 1994 US Open).[24] Schwartzman said: "It’s not just for the big guys here."[25]
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.[26] 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.
2018: Second ATP title, top-20 ranking & second Grand Slam quarterfinal
In his first 17 Grand Slam tournaments, Schwartzman had only reached the 3rd round one time. However, at the 2018 Australian Open, he advanced to the 4th 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 4 sets. By virtue of his performance, he reached a new career-high singles ranking of No. 24 on 29 January 2018.[27]
He then went on to capture the title at the 2018 Rio Open, a clay ATP 500 level 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 April 2, 2018, and was the first Jewish male player to break into the singles top 20 since Brad Gilbert was fourth in 1990.[18][28][15] At the 2018 French Open, Schwartzman made it into his second Grand Slam quarterfinal. He didn't drop a set on his run to the 4th round where he faced 6th seed Kevin Anderson and managed to win in just under four hours, after coming back from two sets to love down for the first time in his career. In the quarterfinals he became the first man to take a set off 10-time champion Rafael Nadal since 2015, winning the first set 6-4.[29]
