hotel rooms of the Argentine Diego Schwartzman and the Spanish Pedro Martínez were robbed this week at the Eastbourne tournament, with some personal valuables stolen.
Theft in the rooms
Martínez, number 49 in the world, said, in statements to The Guardian, that when he arrived in his room on Monday he saw that the clock was missingwho went around the room looking for it and finally went down to reception to report the theft.
“Fifteen minutes later, Diego appeared and the same thing had happened to him,” said Martínez, who beat Alejandro Davidovich due to the Malaga player’s retirement and assured that it was difficult to compete in those circumstances.
“My watch was stolen, and Schwartzman had some valuables stolen. I had a bad night, that’s the truth. I barely slept. It was hard to play, but I tried to concentrate on playing.”
‘Sentimental value’
Martínez assured that the watch that was stolen from him was bought a year ago, when he first arrived at the third round of Roland Garros.
“It had sentimental value. I don’t think they’d find it because there weren’t any cameras in the hallways.”
Schwartzman still hasn’t won on grass this 2022 after falling to the British Jack Draper, a guest of the tournament, 7-5 and 7-6(3), in the second round at Eastbourne, in England. The South American tennis player started as the fourth favorite.
He fell in his first match in Queens against American Sam Querrey. And in Eastbourne he did not do better, beaten by a tennis player outside the top one hundred of the ATP ranking and who took two hours to resolve the commitment with the Argentine, with whom he had never played before.
