The tennis light of Diego Schwartzman is starting to fade. Without, a priori, more tournaments to compete in until his final farewell at ATP Buenos Aires 2025, his hometown wanted to pay tribute to the national idol and a role model for many new tennis players. Winner of four ATP titles, Grand Slam semifinalist, and former world number 8, 'el peque' broke barriers by reaching the highest elite level with just 1.70 meters tall, being the exception in a ranking where it is clear that having great height and a powerful serve is highly prized.

At the Buenos Aires Challenger, taking place this week, he received a small and beautiful tribute after the match between the locals Federico Coria and Juan Bautista Torres, which was won by the former. Schwartzman wanted to thank the affection shown by his fans.
