Fans across the globe tuned into Tuesday evening's Inter Miami football match to watch superstar Lionel Messi play his second game in Major League Soccer. After the Argentine was substituted out of the game following a two-goal performance, a television close-up showed he was speaking with a familiar face to the tennis world: Diego Schwartzman.
It is no wonder the former No. 8 player in the Pepperstone ATP Rankings still had a smile on his face recalling the evening on Sunday at the Mubadala Citi DC Open, where he is competing this week.
The 30-year-old Argentine, a big football fan, attended the game with his brother, Matias Schwartzman. They were able to mingle with plenty of celebrities besides Messi. The Schwartzman Brothers also took photographs with singer Marc Anthony and football icon David Beckham.

Schwartzman on Monday will face American Mackenzie McDonald at the Washington ATP 500. But on Sunday afternoon the Argentine was in a rush. Where? A football match, of course. He made a quick pre-tournament stop to watch Chelsea FC play Fulham FC.
