Way harder than diamond
Macroscopic (pre)tensions can increase resilience but not ultimate tensile strength.
In glass there internal tensions can increase resilience massively.
See Wikipedia on: Prince Rupert's drops
These drops have their tail as weak spot and their shape is pre-given so they are of not much use beside a curiosity for sci-education.
In principle using advanced bottom up manufacturing it might be possible to toughen diamond a lot via internal tensions but leaving no weak spot.
