translated from Spanish: Diego Schwartzman was eliminated in the eighth round of the Cincinnati Masters 1000

Diego Schwartzman closed the presentation in one of the most important tournaments in the rest of the year and in the midst of preparation for the US Open. With a loss to Casper Ruud, the Argentine bid farewell in the knockout stages of the Cincinnati Masters 1000.El “Peque”, who is currently ranked 14th in the ATP rankings, suffered a heavy defeat against the norwegian ascendant, who has already climbed to 11th place, after falling 6-4, 6-3 in 1 hour and 21 minutes of confrontation.
In this way, the Argentine legion in Cincinnati says goodbye after the fall of Guido Pella, who in the previous turn was surpassed by Alexander Zverev, the great candidate for consecration in the United States. The Bahiense had lost 6-2, 6-3 to the owner of the 3rd place in the world rankings. Now, Schwartzman’s path will be set on maintaining the competition and regaining level thinking about the start of the US Open. The last Grand Slam of the season has a start date of August 30 in New York, where Novak Djokovic will look to close out a (almost) perfect season, conquering all four major tournaments. The Serbian and World No. 1 did not appear at this tournament after his time in Tokyo 2020 and is now shaping up to travel to the Big Apple. The other big absentee was Spain’s Rafael Nadal, who is also thinking about being able to snap “Nole’s” winning streak.
