Diego Sebastian Schwartzman

[Damian]

Next up for Pella is third seed and fellow Argentine Diego Schwartzman, who had few problems in dispatching eighth-seeded Kazakh Mikhail Kukushkin 6-1, 6-2. Schwartzman has been in top form this week, dropping only eight games to reach the last four. He seeks his first ATP Tour title of the year after finishing runner-up in February in Buenos Aires (l. to Cecchinato).

Pella leads his FedEx ATP Head2Head rivalry with Schwartzman 2-1 and won their most recent clash this February in Cordoba, but this will be their first hard-court meeting.

Schwartzman Wins Argentine Battle In Los Cabos

Spoiler:

Third seed Diego Schwartzman booked his place in the final of the Abierto de Tenis Mifel presentado por Cinemex in Los Cabos, but it came at the expense of a close friend. The 26-year-old defeated second seed and fellow Argentine Guido Pella 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 in an entertaining semi-final on Friday.

It was clear that Schwartzman and Pella's match would be competitive after 45 minutes were needed to complete the first six games, but the third seed grabbed the first break of the match at 3-2 in the opening set. The slight advantage was all Schwartzman needed. Pella saved four set points on his serve at 2-5, but Schwartzman held in the next game and took the early advantage.

Pella was far from discouraged. The second seed responded brilliantly as he raced to a 4-0 lead in the second set and ultimately levelled the match. But in another drastic momentum shift, it was Schwartzman who jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the decider.

The third seed continued to apply pressure in his return games, racking up 18 break points on the night and converting four. A forehand sent long by Pella on Schwartzman's first match point wrapped up play after two hours and 18 minutes. Schwartzman's win evened his FedEx ATP Head2Head rivalry with Pella at 2-2.

Schwartzman Digs Deep To Take Los Cabos Title

Spoiler:

Argentine defeats Fritz on Saturday
Third seed Diego Schwartzman stepped up when it counted most on Saturday at the Abierto de Tenis Mifel presentado por Cinemex in Los Cabos. The Argentine saved three set points en route to clinching his first title of the year over fifth-seeded American Taylor Fritz 7-6(6), 6-3.

“This feels really great because I’ll take a lot of confidence with me for the next tournaments,” said Schwartzman. “It was really important for me to come here and win big matches against the big guys. The title is like the cherry on top for me.”

Schwartzman earned the third ATP Tour title of his career and his first on hard courts. The 26-year-old’s other highlights this season include a runner-up finish in Buenos Aires (l. to Cecchinato) and his first ATP Masters 1000 semi-final at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia. Schwartzman now leads Fritz 2-1 in their FedEx ATP Head2Head rivalry.

Despite the loss, the 21-year-old Fritz can be pleased with another strong result. He’s won 13 of his past 16 matches, including his first ATP Tour title in June at the Nature Valley International (d. Querrey) and a runner-up finish last week at the BB&T Atlanta Open (l. to De Minaur). Fritz sits at a career-high ATP Ranking of No. 28, but is projected to crack the Top 25 when the newest standings are released on Monday.

It appeared that Fritz would dominate in the opening stages of the match. A baseline error from Schwartzman gifted the American an early break to lead 3-1 in the first set, but the Argentine settled down and increased his margins in the rallies to earn the break back. Serving at 5-6, 0/40, Schwartzman bravely saved three set points with a barrage of big serves and forehands to force a tie-break.

A double fault from Fritz gave Schwartzman a 6/3 advantage in the tie-break, but Fritz launched his own comeback to even the score. At 6/6, Fritz’s serve let him down again with another double fault and Schwartzman made good on his fourth opportunity to close out the set.

Schwartzman grabbed an early break in the second set due to Fritz receiving a point penalty and led 3-1, but the magnitude of the occasion appeared to get to the Argentine. Schwartzman began to decelerate on his forehand and allowed Fritz to get the break back at 4-2, but regrouped brilliantly in the next game and broke Fritz once more for a 5-3 advantage. The third seed fell to the ground in elation after a forehand sent wide from Fritz wrapped up the match after one hour and 43 minutes.

Schwartzman picked up 250 ATP Rankings points and $131,430. Fritz walked away with 150 ATP Rankings points and $71,065.
