After the suffered victory on Tuesday over the Spanish Alejandro Davidovich (36 in the world) by 1-6, 6-3 and 6-4, Diego “Peque” Schwartzman (15) could not this Wednesday against the also Spanish Albert Ramos Vinolas (43 ), who defeated him in straight sets 6-4, 6-2 to take him out in the second round of the Masters 1000 in Montreal, Canada.
The favorable record of the Buenos Aires tennis player over the Catalan was of no use, whom he had previously beaten five times (Kitzbuhel 2015, Madrid 2017, Argentina Open and Rome 2019, and Córdoba Open 2020) against just one fall, in February of this year in the Cordoba Open.
Thus, the Canadian tournament was left without Argentine tennis players in the main draw, since on the previous day the Australian Nick Kyrgios (33) had taken Sebastián Báez (32) out of the tournament.
Nadal in Cincinnati
On the other hand, the Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal (3) confirmed his participation in the Masters 1000 ATP in Cincinnati, in the United States, which will be played from the 14th to the 21st of this month. “Very happy to play again in Cincy. Flying there tomorrow,” Nadal wrote on his official Instagram account.
The Cincinnati tournament will represent the return of the former world number one after an abdominal injury that ruled him out of the Wimbledon semifinals, the third Grand Slam of the year, against Australian Nick Kyrgios, and the Masters 1000 in Montreal, Canada.
The return to the circuit will serve the greatest Grand Slam winner (22) to prepare for the US Open that will take place from August 29 to September 11. Nadal, 36, won the Cincinnati Masters 1000 in 2013. Swiss Roger Federer is the most successful with seven titles.
