–
After a couple of dramatic wins – including saving two match points in his second round against France’s Titouan Droguet, the only Canadian in the men’s qualifying draw is through to the final round.
It’s already leagues better than his debut last year, when he lost to Kimmer Coppejans in the first round, 11-9 in the match tiebreak. And he made it.
Beyond that, can Diego Schwartzman make it to one last Grand Slam main draw?
Yes, he can!
