Marco Cecchinato's career is defined by one extraordinary Paris fortnight
Marco Cecchinato arrived at Roland Garros in 2018 without a Grand Slam main-draw win and left as a semifinalist. His run included a four-set victory over Novak Djokovic, the result most closely associated with the Sicilian's career, and helped carry him to No. 16. Cecchinato also won three ATP singles titles, all on clay. That surface record matches his ATP profile: clay is his favorite surface, the serve his favorite shot and Rome his favorite tournament, useful context whenever he moves onto a hard court.
