DiegoForRolandGarros? In the aftermath of announcing this weekend that he'll retire from tennis early next year, Diego Schwartzman is hoping to ensure that he'll play the main draw of Roland Garros one last time.

On Sunday, the former world No. 8 announced that his professional tennis career will end next February, with the scheduled 2025 event at home in Buenos Aires slated to be his final career tournament. But before the "most beautiful ending" he could imagine, the Argentine says he will play out the 2024 season, hoping to compete at all of the events he loves the most.

One of those is Paris, the site of his best-ever Grand Slam run four years ago. But with a ranking of No. 142, the Argentine will be forced to play qualifying to get into the main draw. Unless, of course, he's awarded a wild card by the discretion of tournament organizers. With eight on offer, and only the USTA's reciprocal wild card selection officially announced, Schwartzman cheekily made his case Monday by, as the kids might say, shooting his shot in the comments of the tournament's Instagram post that celebrated his career.

The fans are on board with it: As of this writing, Schwartzman's quip has been liked more than 3,600 times, and dozens of fans also flooded the post with their own comments advocating on his behalf.

But Schwartzman's retirement news made waves elsewhere, too. The Argentine was congratulated on social media in the aftermath of his emotional announcement by many in the tennis family, including his Grand Slam-winning compatriots, Juan Martin del Potro and Gabriela Sabatini.

"Congratulations on your beautiful career!" 2009 US Open champion del Potro wrote, while Sabatini, who also won in New York in 1990, urged him to "enjoy what's left of the journey." Meanwhile, Francisco Cerundolo, who is six years Schwartzman's junior, also was among his many compatriots to comment on how much the former Top 10 player impacted tennis in the country.

"How big you are, little one. A pleasure to have met you, trained, competed, learned and enjoyed moments," Cerundolo wrote on Schwartzman's heartfelt post in Spanish.

Former world No. 3 Dominic Thiem, who Schwartzman famously beat en route to his semifinal in Paris when the Austrian was the defending champion hailed him as an "absolute legend," while 6-foot-10 John Isner, with whom the 5-foot-7 Schwartzman made a run to the Rome final in doubles two years ago, dubbed him "my forever doubles partner."
