Matteo Donati (Italian pronunciation: [matˈtɛːo doˈnaːti];^[1]^[2] born 28 February 1995) is an Italian professional tennis player. On 13 April 2015, he reached the final of the ATP Challenger Tour Napoli Cup to claim a career-high of no. 247 on the ATP World Tour Singles rankings.

Professional career

2015

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]
