“I think they are the best fans" - Pella & Schwartzman ready to put on a show for their home fans in Cordoba. 

Guido Pella and Diego Schwartzman received massive support from Argentine fans in last year's edition of the Cordoba Open in Sydney. With the 2020 edition set to take place on their home soil, the duo are expecting more support from their compatriots. And they hope to repay the support with some quality tennis.

Schwartzman said the Argentine fans are the best fans as they unconditionally support any compatriot in any sport.

“I think they are the best fans. Here in Argentina it’s very nice,” Schwartzman said. “Here we have a lot of good people. They are the best fans for me and for every Argentine. The people here enjoy a lot to see every sport. When some Argentine is playing, it’s very, very nice for us.”

Schwartzman also said he's trying to be physically, mentally and emotionally ready as his success depends on those factors.

“I’m trying to think to be ready with my legs, mentally, physically, everything. I need to be ready because here on clay and with this weather, [it is] very hot, you need to be ready to play two, three hours on clay for three sets,” Schwartzman said. “I think if I am in my 100 per cent, I have a good chance to do well.”

Pella echoed Schwartzman's opinion and said playing in front of their home fans will motivate any Argentine to put in their very best.

“It’s great to play in front of your people, in front of all your country, so I think it’s a good opportunity for all the Argentine players to play [at home], to try to play their best,” Pella said. “Of course to play here in Cordoba is very nice because I did my first final here last year, so I hope to keep playing like this.”
