Diego Forlán suffers a defeat in his debut in professional tennis

The Challenger of Montevideo was the perfect stage to witness one of the best football players in the country's history make his debut in a professional tennis tournament. Diego Forlán made his doubles debut with Fede Coria in a match they ended up losing to the Bolivians Boris Arias and Federico Zeballos by 6-1 6-2. However, it was beautiful to see how the former Uruguayan footballer experienced such a special moment in front of his fans and also showed that he is not that bad at this racket sport. What surprised the most was his great performance at the net, not bad at all. "I felt a bit like a tennis player," said the Uruguayan. At 45 years old, Forlán has already had experiences on the ITF circuit, reaching the final in Asunción earlier this year. We will see how he does.
