| Bio | At the beginning of the seventies, Gianluca Rinaldini emerged from his home tennis club (Tennis Club Faenza), and at the age of thirteen he won the Lambertenghi Cup in Milan, an international youth tournament. Then he won the Italian championships for students and juniors. At the absolute Italian championships of 1978, he reached the final, where he was beaten by Corrado Barazzutti. In 1981, he beats Adriano Panatta in the semifinals, but is again beaten in the final by Barazzutti; in the same year he broke into the Top100 in the world rankings and in 3rd place in Italy. In 1981, Rinaldini appeared in the French Open and Wimbledon Championships but was beaten in the opening round at both events, by Pavel Složil and Tim Gullikson respectively. Rinaldini had wins over Alejandro Gattiker, Georges Goven and Sergio Casal en route to the semi-finals of the 1982 Florence Open, where he was beaten by eventual champion Vitas Gerulaitis. The Italian played in both the men's singles and men's doubles draws at the 1983 French Open. In the singles, he was defeated in the first round by Australian John Alexander and he was also unable to progress into the second round in the doubles, with partner Claudio Panatta. |
