Legend of Italian football Paolo Maldini starts at the ATP tennis tournament in Milan.
At 49, Paolo Maldini intends to resume his career in sports, but this time the Italian will try his hand at tennis.
The legendary defender makes his debut in professional tennis, having won in qualifying for the Aspria Tennis Cup in doubles with Stefano Landonio.
"It was our first match in the competition, but Paolo had previously played in tournaments of another level," - said Landonio.
"Paolo has a good serve and a good blow, over which he continues to work. I do not think that he has obvious shortcomings in this sport. He is quick on the court, "- said team mate Maldini strong points.
It is worth noting that Landonio and Maldini have repeatedly played in charitable tennis matches and decided to try their hand at a higher level.
