Biography

He holds several records, including being the first Italian after Panatta to win two consecutive tournaments, the first Italian after Panatta and Barazzuti to finish for two consecutive years among the top 20 in the rankings, and the only tennis player capable of defeating Rafael Nadal on clay twice in a row.
