Diego Schwartzman is entering the favorite part of the season. The 29-year-old Argentinian tennis star relishes playing on clay as his style of play suits the slowest surface. Moreover, he has had impressive results in clay-court tournaments over his career. In 2020, the former World Number 8 reached the semifinals of the French Open, losing to the eventual champion, Rafael Nadal, in the last-four clash.
Earlier in the same season, he had also finished as the second-best to Novak Djokovic at the Italian Open. Last year, Schwartzman made it to the quarterfinals at Roland Garros.
