Schwartzman gives insight on playing the Big Three vs the NextGen

Argentine tennis star Diego Schwartzman opened up about his experiences playing against members of the Big Three, and admitted to not having an answer when asked how to defeat them.

The 'Big Three' consist of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, and Schwartzman's lone win against any of them came at the 2020 Rome Masters when he defeated Nadal in the quarerfinals.

"I don't know how to answer that," said the Argentine when asked how to beat the Big Three. "I think it's very difficult to play against them. Sometimes you feel like you can win the game, but in the end they win the match and then they win the tournament.

So it's difficult to say how to win against these types of players. But I hope that I can beat them a few more times in the next few years."

The World No.14 also gave his thoughts on the new crop of rising players on tour, as Daniil Medvedev recently took over the World No.1 spot from Djokovic.

"I think it's great for tennis that there's a new generation that's doing great," said Schwartzman. "As you said, Sinner, Alcaraz and Tsitsipas are three of the best of the young generation. They play so fast, they hit the ball so clean and play very, very hard. It will be a nice challenge for the players who don't belong to the new generation anymore to play against them.

Let's see what happens in the next few years, but for tennis and for all the people who follow every tournament every week, having new players is very important,"
