Diego Forlán will make his debut in professional tennis at 45 years old
Those of us who follow the tennis circuit always feel a certain thrill when we find out that athletes from other disciplines like to pick up a racket from time to time because they are quite good at it. In the case of Diego Forlán, former striker for teams like Manchester United, Villarreal, or Atlético de Madrid, we were aware that he almost reached a competitive level. Well, that opportunity will come for the Uruguayan at 45 years old, teaming up with Fede Coria in the upcoming Challenger de Montevideo. This madness quickly went viral throughout the afternoon this Monday, so everyone mark it on the calendar to not miss out on what could come from there.
It was obvious, I told you so. Diego Forlán is going to play doubles with Fede Coria at the Challenger de Montevideo next month.
