‘Spent Two Weeks Spending Hours in the Clinic’- Argentinian Tennis Star’s Frustration Revealed in an Painful Confession About His Father

Diego Schwartzman is one of the brightest tennis prospects for Argentina. The 30-year-old is an experienced campaigner and has four ATP titles to his name. Currently, the 30-year-old is the best tennis player in his country. However, an unfortunate personal incident meant he had to miss matches. While missing the matches had a negative impact on his rankings, the Argentine was off the court for some time as his father was hospitalized. Here’s what the 30-year-old had to say about his condition.

Diego Schwartzman opens up about his struggles

Even the toughest of players on the court are unable to give their best when someone close to them is ailing. While his father was critically ill, the 30-year-old could not focus on tennis. He was set to play against his compatriot Juan Manuel Cerundolo in the Cordoba tournament. Missing the match meant he would be out of  the Top 30 and lose his place as Argentina’s number one.

However, the Argentine believes it was worth it. As his mind will never be at tennis if he plays in this situation.

Here’s what he said. “I spent two weeks spending hours in the clinic. It’s not an excuse, but maybe I have less patience. I feel more frustration when it comes to playing. My personal situation affects me.”

We hope his father is in good health now and Schwartzman can shift his focus back to tennis.

When Schwartzman stood up for Novak Djokovic

Being the proud representative of his nation, the Argentine is quite humble as well. Back in 2022, Australian Open, Novak Djokovic had a forgettable time. The ‘Djoker’ had to leave Australia without having played a single game due to his COVID-19 vaccination status.

While the Serb quietly left the country, the tennis community and fans were talking nonstop about it. Schwartzman, who was in Australia to play in the Australian Open back then, urged fans to stop creating more controversy. The Argentine himself was vaccinated and got the opportunity to play in the tournament.
