Argentina’s Diego Schwartzman has hit a new low in his
career after suffering a defeat in the qualifying round Western & Southern Cincinnati
Open.
The 30-year-old suffered a defeat in the qualifier of the
competition against Russia’s Alexander Shevchenko with a score of 6-1, 3-6,
6-3.
The defeat ended Schwartzman’s run of consecutive 52 main draw
appearances in the ATP competitions.
The result was a severe blow for Schwartzman who would be
hoping to have a longer run in the competition in order to prepare for the upcoming
US Open.
The fourth and final Grand Slam of the year is set to begin
in less than 20 days’ time in New York.
The former world number eight has a decent record while
playing at the US Open where he played in the quarterfinal twice — in 2017 and later
in 2019.
However, on both occasions, he was on the losing side. On his first
appearance in the last-eight of the mega-evet, Schwartzman lost to Spain’s Pablo
Carreno Busta with a score of 6-4, 6-4, 6-2.
Two years later, he lost to the former world number one Spain’s
Rafael Nadal in the quarterfinal with a score of 6-4, 7-5, 6-2.

- FYI: The term 'snub' is a much overused verb by writers of sensationalist rags. [SNUB: rebuff, ignore, or spurn disdainfully]. That is not the definition of what is going on with frequent withdrawals from tournaments.
mandoist16-09-2024 - No offence, Mr. Lloyd, but where have you been the past two years?? How long have you been a tennis fan? This 'article' may be informative for newbies or fair-weather tennis observers but the majority of fans know the root of the multiple issues within WTA. The #1 issue being the subject of health & well-being which has been (or has attempted to be) addressed with the WTA Elitist council members last season. WTA was extremely dismissive of players' concerns and opposed to such a meeting. Eventually giving-in due to publicity and allowed selective players only -- no rep's, no medical personnel, and no team members. The meeting was a farce as WTA soon after that released an even more hectic schedule... with mandatory tourneys! Guess they weren't taking notes?? BTW: There is a lot missing from this piece concerning "withdrawals". No writer has yet taken the jump to get behind the scenes and dig at the problems -- obvious organizational problems. IMO, the top two issues are WTA's lack of proper attention to health & well-being of its Money-Makers; and Financial Greed. Tip to Mr. Lloyd: there is no "snubbing" when these players withdraw. These women have to take such measures as withdrawing from a tourney, and occasional time-off from the circuit, to protect themselves -- because WTA refuses to take any measures at all (although not allowing matches until sunrise is a start). Surely you can do better than point fingers at players. The finger-pointing should be directed entirely at WTA (and ATP). Be a true journalist, Mr. Lloyd, and research them!!mandoist16-09-2024
