"We will prepare a preseason of three or four weeks" - Schwartzman ready to strike after return to ATP Tour

The Argentinian was not happy by the way it was announced that this year players won't play in Indian Wells. Speaking to La Nacion, Schwartzman said: “I didn’t like (the way Indian Wells was cancelled), mostly because I landed in Los Angeles on Sunday and found out that it had been cancelled by messages from (coaches) Facundo Lugones and Fede Coria, who were there in the tournament.”

“I even looked if it wasn’t April Fool’s Day, I thought they were playing a joke on me. The next day, the healthiest thing, was to cancel the Miami Open. I understand that they took a few days, they also waited for the opinions of the players, the governments and everything that was happening, but the wisest thing was done.”

Schwartzman will use the time to make better preparation for the rest of the clay season. In 2018, Diego managed to win the title in Rio de Janeiro on clay and he will attempt to add more titles on clay also this year.

"We will pretend that the year has not started and we will prepare a preseason of three or four weeks,” Schwartzman said. We have to think that it will be a year a little shorter than normal and we have to adapt.”
