Diego Schwartzman was wondering what could have been after a straight-sets defeat to Bulgarian Gregor Dimitrov.

Despite throwing all his ammunition at the 13th seed, Argentinian Schwartzman could not penetrate the big hitter’s armour, crashing out the tournament in straight sets for the third time in the first round 7-6, 6-2, 6-2. 

Schwartzman, ranked 37, reached his career highest ranking last month.

But on his first meeting with a top-20 player on grass, he could not control Dimitrov’s pummelling serve which reached 131 mph at times.
