"When I am on court, I don’t think about how tall I am" - Schwartzman about his height

The Argentinian is 170cm (5 ft 7 in) tall. He's not one of the smallest people on earth, but compared to John Isner he's almost 40cm smaller. Many often ask Schwartzman about his height and now he said how he sees it.

"I have worse problems than being 10 centimeters shorter than everybody else. When I walk onto a tennis court, I don’t think about how tall I am or how much bigger my opponent is. I know there is a difference, but so what? Maybe if I was 10 or 15 centimetres taller, I’d have a better serve or be able to hit with more power. But my height isn’t going to change. I’m not going to wake up the size of John Isner or Ivo Karlovic. There are reasons that I might not have made it here, but they have nothing to do with my size," Schwartzman said.

"Also, when I was 13, a doctor told me I would never be taller than 170cm. I know I told you that height doesn’t mean much. But back then, I was devastated. I didn’t know what I was going to be able to do well with my life if the doctor was right. I didn’t know if I still wanted to play tennis. My parents didn’t let me get down, though. They told me my height shouldn’t influence my dreams. And luckily, when I was 15 or 16, I started to have many people around who tried to help me with money, travel, a coach, a trainer, with everything. At that point, it became easier for my family and me," said Schwartzman.
