Seventh Argentine tennis player in Luanco
Diego Schwartzman will be the seventh Argentine tennis player to play on Ribera beach in the history of the Tournament. The presence of great Argentine tennis players in the Playa Luanco Tennis Tournament was inaugurated in 1983 with the participation of Eduardo Bengoechea, who would reach the final, losing to Juan Avendaño. Gastón Gaudio managed to reach the semifinals in Luanco in 2003, the year of Younes El Aynaoui’s victory. Guillermo Cañas visited La Ribera beach in two editions, proclaiming himself champion in 2006 against Nicolás Almagro, and reaching the final in 2009 losing to David Ferrer. In 2007, it was Juan Mónaco who managed to be a semi-finalist, in a Tournament that Feliciano López would win against Félix Mantilla. Mario Zabaleta would fall in the same round in 2009, and Juan Ignacio Chela in 2010, which closed with a final won by Nicolás Almagro against David Ferrer.
