Thiem accidentally knees Schwartzman in the face

A slight mishap in Argentina left a few scars both inside and out

Published Feb 24, 2018

While in Argentina for the Argentina Open, Dominic Thiem took a game of soccer tennis to the extreme when he accidentally landed a flying knee to Diego Schwartzman's face. Thiem was very apologetic and the whole thing blew over quickly, but not without leaving a few marks on the 25-year-old's face.

A couple of cuts and bruises didn't deter the festivities that much, as they went back to playing and signing soccer balls for fans. Thiem went on to win the tournament, but Schwartzman got his revenge in the Rio Open. He is safely through to the semifinals, while Thiem couldn't get past the quarterfinals, losing to Fernando Verdasco, 6-4, 6-0.

Schwartzman will face Nicolas Jarry for a spot in the finals.
