Schwartzman Looking For Positive Season End
It has been a mixed season for Argentina’s Diego Schwartzman, with moments of brilliance interspersed with heartbreaking losses, like the one inflicted by Roberto Bautista Agut in Canada.
His calendar for the season thus far includes a title success in Buenos Aires, and a quarterfinal finish at Roland Garros, where he took the first set of Rafael Nadal, before bowing out in four sets.
Having thrown away three match points in his Round of 16 defeat to Roberto Bautista Agut in Toronto, Schwartzman has looked like a man low on confidence and belief this season. This was again evident in his five set loss to Botik Van De Zandschulp in the round of 16 at the US Open where he failed to press home the initiative after an excellent fourth set win.
While clay brings the best out of Schwartzman, he is a pretty decent player on hard courts as well, with five of his 11 finals coming on the surface. But Los Cabos 2019 remains his only hard court title, with the other three triumphs coming on clay.
Schwartzman had fair runs at both San Diego and Indian Wells since the US Open, looking in decent form, losing in the quarter-finals of both to Andrey Rublev and Cam Norrie respectively
With a crowd of players in a tussle for the last two spots at the tour finals in Turin, the Argentine’s chances look bleak, but he will like a strong run this week and over the next few weeks to end his season strong and on a high.

Epic Win For Murray Over Tiafoe
Former world number one Andy Murray continued his comeback trail on the North American hard courts with a second round loss to Wimbledon semi-finalist Hubert Hurkacz in Cincinnati and another second round loss to Frances Tiafoe in Winston Salem. He was up against world number three Stefanos Tsitsipas in the opening round of the US Open and although the Scot put up a phenomenal performance, he fell just short in five sets.
The Briton has talked about still aiming to be in the top ten after he lost in Metz after the US Open, in the quarter-finals to eventual champion Hubert Hurkacz. However, Murray did well to record wins against Ugo Humbert and Vasek Pospisil.
After a loss to eventual champion Casper Ruud in San Diego, Murray started off well at Indians Wells against Adrian Mannarino setting himself up for a second round against up and rising teenager from Spain, Carlos Alcaraz, which Murray did very well to win too before falling short against German top five in the world Alexander Zverev.
Murray featured in an epic first round match here against American Frances Tiafoe winning in three hours and forty-five minutes. The Briton prevailed 7-6, 6-7, 7-6, winning the final tiebreak 10-8 in a match that had everything and more.
The former world number one continues to go from strength to strength as he looks for a good run on his comeback, before the end of the season.
Schwartzman v Murray Prediction and Tip
An exciting match ahead of us, and given how long both have been on tour, it is almost surprising that this will be their first ever meeting.
This will be a battle of grit with Murray coming off a morale boosting win against Tiafoe. This will also be about how much gas is left in the Murray tank after the epic win.
Expect a tight contest with a deciding set win for Andy Murray.
Tip: Murray to win in three sets: 10/3 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
