Take note of this name and add it to the long list of rough diamonds with Italian passports to monitor in the near future: Francesco Maestrelli. This 19-year-old is having a splendid season in which he has made the definitive leap from ITF tournaments to events of the ATP Challenger Tour. After being a finalist a few weeks ago in Francavilla al Mare, the man who is nicknamed the “Tower of Pisa”, due to his 193 centimeters in height, has established himself as champion in Verona, after reaching the final draw from the previous phase. He won the final Pedro Cachín 3-6 6-3 6-0, displaying impeccable tennis and running as a player to watch closely.
