Schwartzman reveals WhatsApp group chat with Top 100

If there is one thing that can calm anyone down during a pandemic, it's memes.

World No. 13 Diego Schwartzman revealed on Argentina's 94.7 FM radio that he is in a WhatsApp group chat with many Top 100 players, specifically to keep in touch about the coronavirus. And by talk, he means share memes. The best part? Novak Djokovic moderates the whole thing.

"Novak Djokovic talks a lot, and many send memes. We laugh for a while," Schwartzman said.

There seems to be a number of WhatsApp groups on tour, as Djokovic, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal also have a group chat to connect with each other.

The group is not all fun and games, as they had to make some tough decisions last week.

"You have to respect everything, it is logical, because the situation can get complicated," Schwartzman said. "We gave our vote not to continue competing and this was passed on to the ATP. The discussion was not to play."

Before the ATP Tour was suspended for six weeks, Schwartzman had a 9-5 record in 2020, with his last match being a loss against Pedro Sousa in the Argentina Open semifinals.

"While there is no competition, I am doing other things like cooking vegetables, omelets and risotto," Schwartzman said. "I am also doing yoga and stretching exercises."
