Schwartzman says "score is misleading" after losing to Djokovic

Diego Schwartzman is having the best season of his career what he proved by breaking through to the Top 10 of the ATP Rankings and getting his spot in the 2020 ATP Finals.

However, in the opening match of the final tournament in London, the short Argentinian faced world number 1, Novak Djokovic. Schwartzman lost the match in two sets, and after the match, he said:

“I feel that maybe the score is misleading, or maybe not. I didn’t feel like I played such a terrible match for the score to be 6-3, 6-2,” Schwartzman said. “But at the same time, I felt like I was pretty far behind the whole time, except for at the start of the first set. So there are things to improve, there are things I did well and that I tried today. "

“But just coming off of the court, I have a strange feeling because I feel that I didn’t do a lot of things wrong, and at some moments I played very well. But I was outplayed. I don’t know what more I could have done, or what other risks I should have taken, or what higher level I could have found.”

“You feel that you’re playing well, and then game by game as the match goes on, it starts to get harder. And then suddenly you’re losing the match,” Schwartzman said.

“At the towel, you try to think about what you can improve, or what you’re doing wrong… and I don’t know that I was doing a lot wrong. I don’t know if he was playing that great, either, but the games started slipping away from me after 3-3.”
