(born April 23, 1986, in Rosario, Argentina) is a professional tennis player from Argentina on the ATP Tour. He is a right-hander with a double handed backhand who is currently coached by Javier Nalbandian, the brother of David Nalbandian.
Schwank's family background is from the German-speaking part of Switzerland.
Junior career:
Schwank in his final year on the junior circuit in 2004 had a record of 39-4 winning 5 tournaments, with his biggest title winning the Banana Bowl defeating Pablo Andujar in the final . Schwank finished 2nd in the rankings behind Gaël Monfils who won three out of four of the Junior Grand Slams in that season.

2008: Schwank won two consecutive challenger events, the first in Cremona, Italy and the second in Rome, Italy. On May 12, 2008, a hotel in which Schwank was staying while competing in a challenger event in Bordeaux, France caught fire. Schwank's room was engulfed by the blaze, which destroyed his laptop, passport, as well as the prize money he had earned from the Rome challenger tournament. Schwank was not in his room at the time. He ended up winning the tournament, making that his third consecutive challenger title for the year.
