Diego Forlan to Compete in Doubles at Uruguay Open Tennis Tournament

Posted : 22 October 2024

Diego Forlan, the former Uruguayan soccer international known for his stints with Manchester United and Atletico Madrid, will participate in doubles at the upcoming Uruguay Open tennis tournament in November, as announced by organizers on Tuesday. At 45 years old, Forlan, who retired from professional soccer in 2018, has transitioned to tennis and has been active on the international senior tour.

 

The 2010 World Cup semifinalist, who is a left-handed player, will partner with Federico Coria, the current world number 101 from Argentina. The duo will compete in the main draw of the Challenger Tour event, scheduled to take place on clay courts in Montevideo from November 11 to 17, after being awarded a wild card entry.

 

Organizers expressed their enthusiasm for Forlan's involvement, remarking, "Yes, our number 10 is smashing it in tennis too." This year, he has already participated in several over-40 tournaments in Montevideo and made a notable appearance at the MT1000 event in Lima, part of the ITF World Tennis Masters Tour. Forlan, who earned 112 caps and scored 36 goals for Uruguay, has previously achieved success in soccer, including winning the Premier League with Manchester United.
