Davide Sanguinetti (Italian pronunciation: [ˈdaːvide saŋɡwiˈnetti] ;[ 4] [ 5] born 25 August 1972) is an Italian former professional male tennis player.[ 6] [ 7]
Born in Viareggio in Tuscany , he attended the Harry Hopman academy in Florida and then UCLA . He now resides in Monte Carlo .
Sanguinetti has won two ATP singles titles in 2002, defeating Roger Federer (Milan Indoor ) and Andy Roddick (Delray Beach ) in the finals, and one doubles titles (Umag 1997). His career-high singles ranking was World No. 42 (31 December 2005), and he has represented Italy in the Davis Cup since 1998.
In 1998, Sanguinetti made a run to the Wimbledon quarter-finals, defeating Johan Van Herck , Franco Squillari , Vladimir Voltchkov and Francisco Clavet before losing to Richard Krajicek in straight sets. At the 2005 US Open , Sanguinetti achieved one of the most memorable runs of his career, reaching the fourth round. He defeated Carlos Moyá and Paradorn Srichaphan – the latter in a four-and-a-half-hour match – before losing to David Nalbandian . However, he gained a bit of redemption when he upset Nalbandian in the first round of the Rogers Cup in Toronto on 7 August 2006.
Sanguinetti has a .500 record in Davis Cup matches, last playing against Zimbabwe in 2003, defeating Nigel Badza and losing to Wayne Black .
He was the coach of Vince Spadea 2008–11,[ 1] and subsequently coached Go Soeda [ 2] and Dinara Safina .[ 3] Starting in October 2023, he became the coach of Brandon Nakashima .[ 8]
