Schwartzman, a former top 10 player, has already reached the fourth round at the claycourt Grand Slam and his eyes have turned to the Stade de France in the northern part of Paris which will play host to tomorrow’s Champions League final.

Schwartzman implored tennis organisers today to find him a ticket to the showdown between England’s Liverpool and Spain’s Real Madrid.

Asked at his press conference today if he wanted to go to the match, the 29-year-old said with a big grin on his face: “A chance to ask who has tickets for me.

“So Roland Garros, please ask for tickets for tomorrow. I know you can do it. President of Roland Garros, president of the Federation. I can go alone, eh? It’s okay.”

Schwartzman, who will play Novak Djokovic in the next round of the French Open if the world No 1 manages to win his third round match later today, said he loved football and he loved watching big matches.

“These past few days I was following just my team, Boca Juniors. We won the league in Argentina. We won yesterday. So we went through in the Copa Libertadores,” he continued.

“So now it’s time to Champions League. But it’s going to be a great match. Everyone who is here is not from Liverpool or Real Madrid. We are going to enjoy.

“One more time, if you have any tickets, I will be there tomorrow.”
