Diego Schwartzman wrote a goodbye letter to tennis.
It’s heartwarming, inspiring, honest, emotional… everything that his career has been.
He remembers selling rubber bracelets with his mom at tournaments so they could afford traveling for tennis.
They even shared the profit with other kids who helped sell the bracelets:
“Growing up, it was not easy for my family financially. I would travel with my mother and the hotel would never have a TV and at almost every tournament we shared a bed. Once we stayed somewhere because a room cost two pesos for the night.
We scrambled to earn money to help me travel. We even sold rubber bracelets left over from my family’s old business to pay for these trips. I would run around tournaments selling them. Other kids would too, and we would give them some of the profit. So how did I make it as far as I did? I have no idea, really.” 🥹
He also says he didn’t like when people always spoke about his height, but he was always aware it was more challenging for him because of his height. So knew he had to work even harder:
“Something a lot of people spoke about was my height, 170 centimetres. I didn't like that during my career, because many times when I was playing good tournaments, everyone was asking me how I did it and how I was going to win the next match.
It was all about my weight, my height and everything about my small body. Nobody is at the top without height, it's true. Barely anybody in the Top 100 is my height. I can’t lie, it was tough.
I had to work so hard off the court so that my opponents did not feel I had less power or my movements were shorter or anything. For sure I know that height is a very important thing playing tennis. But more than 50 per cent the way you win matches comes from what you do away from the court.
I really like when people say to me, ‘You were a fighter, but you were also a very good tennis player’. Just being a fighter, you are not going to be at the top of the sport. You need to play good tennis. You need to have a good forehand, a good serve and good movement. Just being a fighter does not get you to the top.”
“I was there because I was good at this sport. Nobody gave me a gift. I earned this.
When I was young, I didn't expect to achieve what I did. But during my career, I belonged.” 🥹
