In tennis we see things that we are not so used to witnessing. Today in the preliminary phase of M15 Doha, we have seen the Italian Claudio Cataldi play a qualifying game at 61 years old. It was his fifth professional game (the first was in 2015). Their record to date was 0-4 and they have won twelve games in total. Today he did not have an easy game, as he faced the young 19-year-old British tennis player Ali Habib. The match ended 6-0 and 6-1 in 39 minutes of play. Age is just a number, they said.
At the age of 61, the Italian Claudio Cataldi will compete this Sunday in the qualy of the M15 Doha. It will be his fifth game at a professional level -the first was in 2015-. 0-4 record with just twelve games won.
