Federico Cinà will never forget the days that anticipate the beginning of spring 2025. A period of those who can change their career, between the first first Challenger final, in Hersonissos, and the First victory in the ATP circuit at the first game in the MAGNI Circuit, at Masters 1000 in Miami against the Argentine Francisco Comesana. Palermo, who will turn 18 on March 30, is experiencing a moment of passage towards large horizons. Number 441 of the world, “Palli” (from his nickname, ball) knows well, however, that the road is long. And it must be traveled, as he has always done, without mounted his head. Cinà has achieved excellent results from Junior. He reached the final of the Petit AS tournament in 2021, of the Under 16 teams in teams in 2022 and the Roland Garros Junior in double in 2024, in addition to the singular semifinal at the US Open Under 18 in 2023.
In the professional circuit he won the first ATP point at 15 years old, in 2022. In September 2024 he won his first ITF title among the professionals in Romania, winning the 15,000 dollar tournament in Buzau. Peculiarity? The two comeback wins, one for 7-6 on the third in the second round and one for 7-5 on the third in the semifinal. Two weeks before the debut in Miami, he won the second ITF title in singular, in Sharm El Sheikh, in Egypt. On the route he lost only one set, the first of the quarter -final against Georgian Aleksandre Bakshi, fourth seed. In the final he beat 76 (3) 76 (3), after over an hour and three quarters of struggle, the American Martin Damm, a third favorite of Seeding. Certainly the combative spirit does not lack. This week is 441 in the world, and n. 14 In the Race dedicated to the Next Gen, the ranking based on the best seasonal results of the under 20s in the ATP circuit. In front, however, there is no one younger than him.
