You can’t necessarily excel in every discipline. Diego Forlán experienced this reality when he lost heavily in the first round of the Montevideo Challenger (Uruguay), where he had received an invitation. Playing alongside Federico Coria (ranked 101st in the world in singles, 413th in doubles), the Uruguayan lost in two straight sets to the pairing of Bolivian Boris Arias and Argentine Federico Zeballos (6-1, 6-2, in 47 minutes).

Interviewed after the match, the former Manchester United and Villarreal striker admitted that he still enjoyed himself. “Jknew that there was a possibility that it would be a difficult game for us, but I was happy. It’s not easy at all.”
