Diego Schwartzman hit the headlines for beating Reilly Opelka not because of the score (Diego is world no.39, Reilly 165), but for the fact that the Argentine is 41 shorter than the American of 41cm. In fact, Diego is 1.71 cm (or 5’7’’) while Reilly is 2.11cm (or 6’11’’)
The Argentine had to win the contest at the breaker as he wasn’t able to capitalize on a 6-3 4-3 (1 break up) lead. Eventually, Diego won the contest 6-3 6-7 (2) 6-4, but the funniest part was the handshake at the net. It seems as both players come from different planets.
