Playing style[edit]

Schwartzman is a baseline player with solid groundstrokes on both wings and the ability to counterpunch and go on the offensive. He is known for the clean hitting off both his forehand and backhand and can take the ball on the rise and hit it with depth and pace. Analysts consider that he plays well on the defensive due to his speed and ability to hit winners from defensive positions far out of the court. His speed also allows him to retrieve drop shots and hit passing shots easily.[citation needed]

Schwartzman has a consistent, though not outstanding, serve and arguably plays better on the return than on serve. In 2017, he statistically led the ATP on return games, and second-serve points won. He also possesses solid volleys and prefers the drop volley, though they are not a major weapon in his game.[citation needed]

Schwartzman's speed and powerful baseline game have resulted in most of his success coming on clay rather than hard courts or grass. However, in the past few years, he has attempted to add more variety to his game, resulting in breakthroughs, particularly on grass, scoring his first-ever win on grass only in 2018.[citation needed]
