Marco Cecchinato (Italian pronunciation: [ˈmarko tʃekkiˈnaːto]; born 30 September 1992) is an Italian professional tennis player.[1] On 29 April 2018, he won his first ATP World Tour title at the 2018 Hungarian Open. He became the first Sicilian tennis player to win an ATP title.[2]

Career

2013 – 2017

In May 2013 Cecchinato qualified for the main draw at the ATP tournament in Nice, losing to sixth seed and countryman, Fabio Fognini, in the first round.[3]

In July 2014, Cecchinato qualified for Umag, played No. 6 seed and countryman, Andreas Seppi. He lost in the first round, but was able to take a set from Seppi.

Cecchinato made his Grand Slam debut at the 2015 US Open.

On 20 July 2016, Cecchinato was suspended for 18 months (until January 2018) and fined €40,000 by the Italian tennis federation for illegal behavior including match fixing and match betting.[4] He successfully appealed against that decision.[5]

Cecchinato reached his first ATP quarter final at Bucharest in 2016.

2018: Breakthrough, Maiden ATP World Tour title, French Open semifinals

He won his first ATP title in Budapest, in 2018, where he reached the final as a lucky loser, having lost in the qualifying competition;[6] he thus became the ninth player ever to win an ATP tournament as lucky loser.[7]

At the 2018 French Open, the 72nd-ranked Cecchinato came from two sets down to win his first grand slam match against Marius Copil. In the second round, he defeated the lucky loser Marco Trungelliti. In the third round, he came from a set down to topple tenth seed Pablo Carreno Busta.[8] In the fourth round, he beat 8th seed Belgian David Goffin in four sets.[9] He then upset former champion Novak Djokovic in four sets (with a 13–11 tiebreaker in the final set) to reach his first Grand Slam semi-final.[10][11] His French Open run ended with a loss to Dominic Thiem.[12][13] His semifinal finish moved him to 27th in the world and enabled him, for the first time in his career, to be seeded at a Grand Slam tournament (Wimbledon).
