Djokovic regularly beats Schwartzman. The tennis players has played six times. Novak won all of them. In addition, in the last three, the Argentine could not take a single set from Novak. It is unlikely that Diego will be able to perform more successfully now.
In all three of Djokovic’s matches at the tournament, he did not break the 31-game mark. This is unlikely to happen now. Schwartzman is a comfortable opponent for him.

In the third round, Novak defeated Aljaz Bedene (6-3, 6-2, 6-2). Despite Aljaz’s best efforts, Novak lost only eight games.
He had to use only very little effort during the second round game against Alex Molcan (6-2, 6-3. 7-6). In the third set, Molcan survived until the tie-break.

Diego Schwartzman, meanwhile, was already close to finishing the tournament. In the second round, Diego hardly beat Jaume Munar (2-6, 6-7, 6-2, 6-2, 6-2).
