Adriano Panatta (born 9 July 1950) is an Italian former professional tennis player. He won the French Open in 1976, when he became the first Italian man in the Open Era to win a Grand Slam singles title.[2] Panatta was also the only player ever to defeat Björn Borg at Roland Garros,[3] doing so twice.
From 2018 to 2021, he was a regular guest of the RAI sport broadcast Quelli che... il Calcio.[4]
- ^ The statistics differ from those provided by the official ATP website. The ATP site only partially lists Davis Cup matches played between 1977 and 1981, attributing only 22 match wins to Panatta instead of 37. Additionally, the ATP site incorrectly categorizes the 1981 Venice ATP tournament, where Panatta reached the quarter-finals, as a "Challenger." It also lists the 1968 Adelaide and Brisbane tournaments as "Open."
