The Argentine Fighter Joins Legends Team Cup
Diego Schwartzman is one of Argentina’s most tenacious and hardworking tennis players, known for his incredible speed, defensive skills, and fighting spirit. Born on August 16, 1992, in Buenos Aires, Schwartzman has defied expectations throughout his career, proving that size is no barrier to success in modern tennis.
Standing at 170 cm (5’7”), Schwartzman is one of the shortest players in the top ranks of the ATP Tour, but what he lacks in height, he more than makes up for with his agility, consistency, and relentless determination. His ability to retrieve impossible shots and counterattack has made him one of the toughest opponents on clay courts.
Schwartzman’s breakthrough came in 2017, when he reached the US Open quarterfinals, and he continued his rise with an impressive French Open semifinal run in 2020, where he defeated Dominic Thiem in a five-set thriller before facing Rafael Nadal. Over his career, he has won four ATP titles and achieved a career-high ranking of World No. 8 in October 2020.
As a proud representative of Argentina, Schwartzman has played a key role in Davis Cup competitions and remains a fan favorite for his humble personality and relentless work ethic.

After an incredible journey on the ATP Tour, Diego Schwartzman is taking the next step in his career by joining the Legends Team Cup in spring 2025. The Argentine star is excited to continue competing at a high level in this unique format.
“Tennis has been my life for so many years, and the competition is something I truly love. Joining the Legends Team Cup is an exciting new chapter where I can continue to play against great rivals, in amazing locations, and still feel the energy of the crowd. This is not just about nostalgia—it’s real competition, and I can’t wait to be part of it.”
