Diego Forlan, a former Manchester United cult hero and an Uruguayan retired footballer, is making waves on the tennis court. At 45 years old, he has been competing in the ITF Tour and showcasing his versatility as an athlete. Recently, he traveled to Peru to participate in an ITV MT1000 event in Lima where he is competing in the 45+ category.
In a video circulating online, Forlan is seen serving and striking forehands, demonstrating his skills in this new sport. Having given up tennis at the age of 16 to pursue his football career, his return to the court has been impressive. In his last two matches on the ITF circuit in Lima, he has only dropped three games.
Forlan’s multi-talented abilities have amazed fans around the world, and they are looking forward to seeing how he performs in the quarter-final against Brazilian Antonio Amaro da Silva Filho. His journey from winning the Copa America in 2011 to competing on the ITF Masters Tour in 2024 is a testament to his determination and skill. Whether on the football pitch or the tennis court, Forlan continues to impress fans with his athletic prowess and competitive spirit.
