In April 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.[5] He ended up winning the tournament, making that his third consecutive challenger title for the year.[6] At the 2008 Roland Garros tournament (commonly known as the French Open) Schwank was the number 1 seed in the qualifying rounds. He defeated Bjorn Rehnquist, Uladzimir Ignatik and Ilia Bozoljac in the first, second and third qualifying rounds respectively to qualify for the main draw of the tournament. In the first round, Schwank defeated Carlos Moya.[7] He is currently ranked 74 in the world in singles.[2]
