Renzo Furlan (born 17 May 1970) is an Italian tennis coach and former professional player.

Career

[edit]

Having turned professional in 1988, Furlan represented his native country at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia, where he was defeated in the quarter-finals by India's Leander Paes. Four years earlier, when Barcelona hosted the Summer Olympics, he reached the third round, falling to Jordi Arrese of Spain: 4–6, 3–6, and 2–6. The right-hander reached his highest ATP singles ranking of World No. 19 in April 1996.

His best performance at a Grand Slam came when he got to the quarter-finals of the 1995 French Open, defeating Marcos Ondruska, David Rikl, Fernando Meligeni and Scott Draper before losing to Sergi Bruguera.

Furlan kept a residence in Monte Carlo during his playing days.

Furlan was appointed president of the Tennis Federation of Serbia in 2016.[1] After leaving, Furlan began coaching professional tennis player Jasmine Paolini full time in 2020, having first worked with her in 2015.[2]
