Eduardo Schwank was a top 50 player 2 years ago and in 2008, he reached the third round of the French Open, on his first outing here. He duplicates the feat this year at a rank of 192. He defeated Florian Mayer of Germany (ranked #35) in the second round today 26 63 64 76(4). In the first round, he defeated Ivo Karlovic (ranked #59) 64 60 63. Eduardo is definitely playing way above his ranking, considering the pedigree of his competition. However, he is in for a tough match in the third round - his opponent - defending champion, Rafael Nadal (ranked #2).
