The Argentinian tennis player succumbed to the Chilean on day 16 of the ATP 250 in Santiago, in a day that had everything. Peque, involved in more than one verbal argument, said he had to be escorted out by seven guards.
Diego Schwartzman had a bad time at Santiago. The Argentinian tennis player succumbed to Nicolás Jarry in the round of 16 of the Chile Open. However, his unease was not just on the pitch. Peque, as he is nicknamed, battled with everyone during his ATP 250 farewell, showing his intemperance even when the duel was still in dispute.
“The number of insults I received at the end of the game was brutal. Six or seven security guards had to take me out. It’s not good,” the trans-Andean said at the conference after the crash. All of this was experienced passing by the grandstand. The insults multiplied after closing, but the blunders were present throughout the day.
When the Buenos Aires-born man was about to serve, the whistle sounded in San Carlos de Apoquindo. This pissed him off. The match was delayed on each serve of the “visitor”, as he told the judge that he would not play the ball until there was silence. Even Nicolas Jarry He intervened, asking the public to be quiet, so that the game could continue.
Meeting and constant complaints
When the game was tied, a scrambled ball ended up giving Schwartzman 6-6. Nicolás Jarry hit rock bottom and the Argentine let go, gesturing it was bad. With both hands, he shows the referee the distance he thinks there was between the line and the ball. However, the Chilean didn’t want the resolution to be that simple.
The 27-year-old tennis player asked the arbitrator to go and see if it was really long. All thanks to his trainer, Juan Ozon He told the national that the distance was not as obvious as the Argentine had implied. The dialogue between the man from Santiago and his DT caused the irritation of the native of Buenos Aires, who had his first verbal exchange with the team of Jarry. An action that would be repeated at the end, with the most heated spirits. According to what was reported by sources from the Seventh Game newspaper, once the confrontation was over, Peque insulted Ozón. “You’re a moron, Juan, but a moron,” would be what the athlete told the coach.
Of course, Schwartzman’s poor condition wasn’t just due to insults or fights. The right-hander was also unhappy with the condition of the court. The playing field took constant damage with the spikes. In fact, he told the judge on more than one occasion that the ground was bad, so they had to smooth it out. The demands were constant.
It has happened to him, like Fabio Fognini, that the boat has not been favorable to him. We also saw it in the match between Alejandro Tabilo and Jaume Munar. In fact, the Italian, after losing to Tomás Martín Etcheverry, assured that: “If something needs to be improved in the tournament, the first thing to do is the field. I spoke to my partner in the locker room and we are not happy with the pitch. Today, for people to have more fun and for us to try to give our best, a better pitch is very important”.
After Wednesday’s controversial day, this Thursday there will be another clash between Chile and Argentina, when christian garin in front of Sebastian Báez. The Tank arrives at the argument after leaving Dominic Thiem on the road.
