The game and from a moment until another he left ”, explains Schwartzman, who still stressed the importance of Wimbledon.
“It’s still Wimbledon. It’s honor, glory and going as far as possible. We’re not playing elsewhere. But I think defeats are assimilated differently. I’m a player who self-flagellates a lot after each defeat If I had played for that 90 points now in the same situation I will be two days without talking to anyone, “he added.
