MARCO CECCHINATO
Marco Cecchinato, born in Palermo on September 30, 1992, is a player who embodies the essence of clay-court tennis. Gifted with exceptional talent and a beautifully elegant one-handed backhand, he made history by reaching the semifinals of the 2018 Roland Garros, a feat that had eluded Italian players for 40 years.
In his trophy cabinet shine three ATP titles, all won on clay, demonstrating his dominance on this surface:
- Budapest 2018
- Umag 2018
- Buenos Aires 2019
Thanks to these successes, he reached a career-high world ranking of No. 16 in 2019, becoming Italy’s No. 1 for a period and achieving the eighth-best ranking ever for an Italian male tennis player.
Honours:
- ATP 250 Titles: 3 (2018, 2018, 2019)
