Matteo Donati (Italian pronunciation: [matˈtɛːo doˈnaːti] ;[ 1] [ 2] born 28 February 1995) is an Italian former professional tennis player and current tennis coach.
On 13 April 2015, he reached the final of the ATP Challenger, the Napoli Cup , and reached a career-high of No. 247 in the ATP World Tour singles rankings.
Professional career [ edit ]
Donati's first big professional result came in Naples at the 2015 Tennis Napoli Cup . As a wildcard, the Italian defeated Axel Michon in straight sets in the first round, World number 111 (former n. 33) and number 1 seed Andrey Golubev 6–7(3) , 6–4, 6–2 in the following round, and fellow Italian Andrea Arnaboldi in a thriller three-setter in the quarterfinals. Donati then reached his first ATP Challenger Tour final (beating Marco Cecchinato 7–6(5) , 6–2 in the semifinals) where he lost to Daniel Muñoz de la Nava in straight sets.
In May Donati obtained a wildcard into the main draw of the 2015 Internazionali BNL d'Italia , in Rome. Playing for the first time in a Master 1000 tournament (also his first ATP match), Donati fought back – from a set down – to beat World number 49 Santiago Giraldo 2–6, 6–1, 6–4.[ 3]
