Gian Marco Moroni (born February 13, 1998 in Rome ) is an Italian tennis player .

Career

Up to the Australian Open 2016 , Moroni played on the Junior Tour tournaments and competed twice in a Grand Slam tournament , winning one match each in singles and doubles. In the junior world rankings, he rose to 33rd place.

From 2016 he then took part regularly in professional tournaments, initially only in those of the third-class ITF Future Tour . In 2017 he reached the finals for a future for the first time. In addition, he was twice in doubles - in San Benedetto and Milan - in the semi-finals of a Challenger tournament . At the end of the year he was 706th in the world rankings , in doubles he was 584th. In 2018 Moroni managed to work his way up. At the beginning of the year he won his only professional title to date at a future tournament in Spain. He had previously reached his first Challenger quarter-finals in Santiago de Chile . In April he succeeded in doing this again in Alicante . In the following week in Barletta, he was only defeated by his opponent in the semi-finals and thus entered the top 400 for the first time. By the end of the year he established himself on Challengers. In Mestre , Moroni only lost in an all-Italian final against Gianluigi Quinzi , after he had not previously lost a set in the tournament. He finished the year in singles in 218th place. In doubles he only rarely appeared.

2019 was similar to the previous year for the Italian. Some good results let him hold his ranking. Again in front of a home crowd in Rome , he moved into his second Challenger final. This was lost in three sets against the Swiss Henri Laaksonen . At the ATP Tour tournament , the J. Safra Sarasin Swiss Open in Gstaad, Moroni successfully qualified for his first ATP event. At the start he was able to defeat the Spaniard Tommy Robredo there before losing to João Sousa . His best ranking was in August 2018 when he was about to make the top 200.
