“Yes, our number 10 is smashing it in tennis too! This year, Forlan has competed in more than three +40 tournaments in Montevideo, also standing out in the MT1000 in Lima of the ITF World Tennis Masters Tour.
“Fun fact: Forlan is left-handed at tennis, the opposite to how he played football, and his right-hand stroke is the most powerful. What do you think of this news? Do you have faith in this duo?”
Coria responded to the news by posting: “Uffff, the double of the year.”

Forlan famously played for a number of major European sides including Man United
Forlan was an avid tennis player in his youth, but gave up the sport at 16 to focus on a career in football.
The iconic striker played for a number of top clubs in Europe including Manchester United where he scored 17 goals in 98 games after joining in 2002.
He then went on to play for Villarreal, Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid – scoring a hugely impressive 96 in 198 games for the latter.

Forlan won the Premier League title at United, while also winning the FA Cup and then the Europa League with Atletico.
He also scored 36 goals in 112 caps for Uruguay, helping them to win the Copa America back in 2011.
His goalscoring exploits on the international stage also saw him scoop the Golden Ball at the 2010 World Cup having been the joint top scorer with five strikes.
And he will now be hoping to replicate his huge success on the pitch to the court ahead of his eagerly-anticipated tennis debut.
