Lorenzo Carboni qualifies for the ITF in Casablanca (15,000 dollars in prize money), but loses in the first round of the main draw.
On Moroccan clay, the tennis player from Alghero (1128 in the world rankings) made it through the qualifiers (where he was seeded number 4), taking advantage of a bye on his debut and first beating the Egyptian Karim El Feky (1877 Atp) 6 -1, 6-3 and then the French Sven Corbinais (1523) 6-2, 7-5.
In the main draw, Carboni was stopped 7-5, 6-0 on his debut by the Spaniard Alejandro Manzanera Pertusa, number 5 in seeding and 627 in the world.
