Marco Trungelliti makes Davis Cup debut and sets a new record for Argentine tennis
It has taken him all the time in the world to get here, but Marco Trungelliti has finally fulfilled one of his greatest dreams. At 36 years old and after nearly two decades as a professional, the world No. 134 became on Friday the oldest Argentine player in history to debut in the Davis Cup. A tremendous pride for a warrior who was always ready to keep fighting, no matter the adversity he had to face. He couldn't win the match, lost in two sets to Soonwoo Kwon (7-6, 6-2), but I assure you that he will never forget today. Argentina and South Korea closed the first day of competition in Busan with a score of 1-1.
Finally, officially.
