"You either love Nadal or love Federer." Meanwhile, Schwartzman inaugurated a 53-court tennis complex and a lounge in Buenos Aires. The centre court at the complex has been named "Diego Peque Schwartzman." "I am very happy to start playing tennis here.
I am very grateful to be here for the appointment of the Central Court. It is very special, I try to enjoy the moment. It’s a beautiful club, a beautiful country. It’s very special to me," Schwartzman told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
Also, Schwartzman recalled his beginnings in Tigre, Buenos Aires. "This place was very different when I came to mess with my friends. Some days we kids just played in front of the wall, there weren’t enough fields, so the big boys didn’t let our kids play, so I practiced against the wall.
Years later, some of them still didn’t want me to play … But it was because I started hitting them,” added Schwartzman. Schwartzman recently said that he was happy with his 2021 season. Schwartzman won one title in 2021 and finished the year ranked inside the top-15.
