Paolo Lorenzi is a rock. While he will celebrate his 39 years on December 15, the Italian continues to drag “his old carcass” on the secondary circuit. Present on the Challenger in Maia, Portugal, the 144th in the world won for his first match against young Czech Michael Vrbensky, bringing his number of victories to 418 in this tournament category.
The Roman is only six successes away from breaking the absolute record of the Spaniard Rubén Ramírez Hidalgo, retired from the courts in 2017 after a very honorable career. For the record, Lorenzi, who has kept in touch with his colleague, said Ramirez has already warned him about this possibility: “He told me he would come back if I passed him”. We can not wait to see it.
