Schwartzman-Ben Stiller friendship lives on with night out in New York

Despite being eliminated from the 2021 US Open, Diego Schwartzman is living his best life as the Argentine was seen dining out with actor and good friend Ben Stiller in New York.

Following the World No.14's exit from the tournament, his girlfriend took to social media to post some images of herself and Schwartzman having dinner at a restaurant in New York on Wednesday night.

News of the pair's friendship surfaced last week, when the Argentine defeated his second round opponent in a rain-delayed match. Although several fans left and the players even had to switch courts, Stiller remained to cheer Schwartzman till the match ended late at night.

After the rain delay, Schwartzman stopped by his box, where Stiller was sitting.

“I said to him, ‘This is a movie, it’s for you, it’s your day,’” Schwartzman recalled. “He was smiling. Then he waited for the change to Ashe. He stayed here until 2:30 a.m. when everyone was able to go back to the city. It was great.”

Schwartzman met Stiller at the 2019 US Open. when the Argentine lost to Rafael Nadal in the quarterfinals. The two have since kept in touch and caught up at this year's US Open, with the pandemic preventing fans from attending the event last year.
