Diego Forlan, former Manchester United striker, will debut professionally in tennis at the Uruguay Open, partnering with Argentine Federico Coria in an ATP doubles event.
Despite retiring from football in 2019, Forlan has remained active in sports, participating in ITF Masters events before stepping up to a Challengers Tour event.
Forlan's impressive football career included stints at Manchester United and Villarreal, as well as notable awards like the European Golden Shoe and the Golden Ball in 2010.
This upcoming tournament marks a significant transition for Forlan, as he aims to leverage his earlier tennis skills from his youth in a professional setting.
