El Peque, who had been a semifinalist in the 2020 edition of the Parisian competition, lost 4-6, 6-4 and 7-6 (10-7) against local Quentin Halys in a match that lasted almost three hours.
Once the match ended, Schwartzman received a standing ovation from the crowd and could not hide his tears.
El Peque could not access the main draw of one of his favorite tournaments. After announcing his retirement on May 5, he had joked on social media about asking the organizers for a special invitation.
After the official Roland Garros Instagram account extended its greetings following the announcement of his retirement, the tennis player responded with an enigmatic “WC?” WC is how Wild Cards are known, the invitations to the main draw that extend the tournaments.
Schwartzman, who has not yet recorded wins in the main draws of tournaments this year, will have his official farewell to tennis at the ATP 250 in Buenos Aires next February.
