A few days after her debut at the Argentina Open, the 30-year-old tennis player referred to the difficult personal moment she had to go through and how it affected her tennis.
Just one day after his debut in Argentina Open, Diego Schwartzman revealed details about anxiety attacks you’ve had in recent times and acknowledges that he has come to play without enthusiasm. El Peque also made an analysis of his decline in level and the future of his professional career.
In dialogue with Clarin newspaperSchwartzman spoke in depth about how health problems will impact the courts in 2022: “Last year, at various times, I had some cramps during games. After 50 minutes or an hour of playing, my whole body felt tight. It’s hard, because I don’t know why the body reacts like this“.
El Peque explained how difficult it was to go through that situation and assured that he is currently better. “There are times when you get a little anxious and lose control. This has happened to me in other situations off the court. I worked on it, I looked for solutions and now, despite the fact that the results are not happening, outside the field and in my everyday life I am wonderful“, he claimed.
He also commented that he will try to find a way to combine his emotional and mental well-being with his best level of tennis: “I used to be so isolated from everything when I made a mistake because I was so down. When I was well, I didn’t want to leave the routine. Now I’m not so isolated, but things don’t work in games. It’s a matter of finding the right combination“.
Schwartzman, his fall in 2022 and goals for the future
Referring to the poor performance he showed in 2022 and recently led him to stop being the best Argentine tennis player in the ATP rankings after almost three years, Schwartzman pointed out the aspects he will try to improve this season : “I think I no longer have the security that I had in the important moments of the matcheswhen he was 4-4 or in a tie break, in those moments when he stole points and won in awkward situations. From that was born a lot of security in my game“.
To finish, he reflected on the moment in his career and revealed his goals for 2023.”What can I criticize? Being 32nd in the world? It’s amazing. I lost a tennis match, I wasn’t playing well… I hope I can do it again soon, but I think, with everything I’ve achieved, there’s no room for criticism. Although whoever wants to do it, let him do it“, he said. And he added: “It is difficult to maintain the rank and the very high level for many years. My desire to achieve this is. This is a great motivation. Hopefully the good level and the good feeling on the pitch will return“.
