A look at Francisco Comesana’s career
Located 400 kilometres from Buenos Aires, Comesana’s story began 16 years ago in the coastal city of Mar del Plata, Argentina. He used to play alot of football. The youngster was so much in love with the sport that it was in his daily schedule.
However, one day, things changed, for good. Comesana was on his way to the nearby concrete football field when he was asked by a friend with a tennis racket.
The seven-year-old was not convinced tho, however he agreed to give tennis a try, and that was the end of it. As soon as he tried, the player didn’t go back to not playing it again and here he is today.
The Argentine has revealed that he watched fellow citizens Juan Martin del Potro and David Nalbandian compete on television. The rising star used to get his training at the Edison Lawn Tennis Club in his city.
Comesana started competing in ITF Futures events in 2017. He didn’t play on clay until 2020 when he won on a hard court for the first time at that caliber. His first ATP Challenger Tour victory was earned in 2022 after he relocated to Cordoba in 2021.
Comesana’s career-high rating of No. 87 in the PIF ATP Rankings was attained in May of this year. Four more clay-court Challenger Tour triumphs followed.
