Diego Schwartzman suffered a peculiar accident before the start of the Argentina Open, the ATP 250 tournament that is played in the Buenos Aires Lawn Tennis this week.
The Argentinean visited La Bombonera with a group of tennis players to watch Boca's match against Temperley and, before the match, they played a soccer-tennis match with his colleagues on the side of the field.
Schwartzman approached the net and his partner in the game, Dominic Thiem, hit him with the knee in the face. The European apologized quickly but Diego ended it up with a bruise on the cheek.
The tennis player from Villa Crespo uploaded the video to his social networks and, hours later, showed the consequences of the blow: one of his eyes was bruised by a bruise.
