Toshihide Matsui, the "grandfather" of the ATP circuit, faces an ultimatum in his career

Toshihide Matsui is the oldest tennis player in the ATP ranking for years, and next week he will be fighting to stay in the official classification. To do so, he will need to win a match in the preliminary phase of the ATP Challenger 100 Guanzhou 2024. At 46 years old, he aims to maintain points in his tally and continue breaking records for early achievement. He will face Wishaya Trongcharoenchaikul, a 29-year-old from Thailand ranked 689 in the ATP, with his best ranking being 450 in 2017.

The legend Toshihide Matsui is playing singles again - if he can't win a match in Guangzhou, the 46-year-old will drop out of the ATP Rankings.

Last year, he defeated Jiayang Dong in Q1 and almost made the main draw, losing a deciding tie-break to Qiang Sun in Q2. https://t.co/DbAKFVli51
