Forlan sees net positives, despite tennis debut defeat

China Daily  

Diego Forlan makes his professional tennis debut at age 45 in a doubles match with Federico Coria at the Uruguay Open in Montevideo on Wednesday. REUTERS Former Uruguay striker Diego Forlan swung and missed on court alongside Argentina's Federico Coria as his tennis doubles debut ended in defeat, losing 6-1, 6-2 to Bolivia's Boris Arias and Federico Zeballos at the Uruguay Open on Wednesday. It was a stark contrast to the roaring applause from the sell-out crowd at the Carrasco Lawn Tennis Club, who were hoping to see the same magic that Forlan once produced on the soccer pitch. Forlan has competed in several over-40 tournaments in Montevideo, also standing out at the MT1000 in Lima on the ITF World Tennis Masters Tour.
