Argentina Open: Schwartzman stuns Thiem to advance in final
Home favourite Diego Schwartzman reached the final of the Argentina Open by coming from behind to defeat top seed and defending champion Dominic Thiem.
Austrian world No. 8 Thiem took the first set 6-2 but the Argentine secured the second 6-4 before prevailing 7-6 (7-5) in the deciding set on the outdoor clay court on Saturday evening.
It was Thiem's first loss in 12 matches in Buenos Aires.
"At one point in the second set [Thiem] was giving me a beating. But the crowd really got behind me and I was able to fight back," Schwartzman said.
¡Un pequeño gigante!

"Now there is one more little step. It's going to be a very tough final, but I'm very confident," the 26-year-old added.
In a match that swung this way and that, Schwartzman embarked on a four-game winning streak and had the opportunity to serve out for the match, only to lose his nerve and see Thiem level at 5-5.
Austrian Thiem then had match point on Schwartzman's next service game, but the Argentine fought off the threat and clinched the breaker with the first match point of his own to punch his ticket to the final.
Third seed Cecchinato had a decidedly easier route to the final as he overcame Guido Pella 6-4, 6-2.
