Diego Schwartzman, the Argentinean tennis star is carrying on his great form. He qualified for the semi-finals in the French Open last year where his progress was halted by the ‘King of Clay’ Rafael Nadal. Winner of ATP Buenos Aires this year, Diego displayed incredible form in the Barcelona Open as well.

Especially on the clay court, Diego has been tough to get past. Whereas his opponent, the 31-year-old Jan-Lennard Struff, has been a part of few close shaves in the French Open 2021 already. By no means Jan-Lennard can be counted of the game as he has already defeated seventh seed Andrey Rublev which surprised numerous tennis fans across the globe.

Struff also defeated Facundo Bagnis and Carlos Alcaraz without much difficulty in the first two rounds of the tournament. Struff has been on a dream run this season. Since 2013, this is only the second time that he has reached the fourth round of the French Open.
