Marco Trungelliti became the oldest man in 50 years to enter the ATP Top 100 after beating Kamil Majchrzak 7-6, 6-3 at the Grand Prix Hassan II — a notable veteran surge on tour. (x.com)

Marco Trungelliti is 36 years old — born January 31, 1990 — according to his ATP player profile. (atptour.com) He reached Marrakech’s main draw after winning two qualifying matches, defeating Hynek Barton in qualifying’s opening round and Rei Sakamoto in the qualifying final. (en.tennistemple.com) In the main draw he then beat Henrique Rocha in the round of 32 to advance into the tournament’s later rounds. (atptour.com) The Grand Prix Hassan II runs March 30–April 5 as an ATP 250 event with total prize money €612,620, and a quarterfinal showing at this level awards 50 ranking points while a semifinal nets 100 points under the ATP points breakdown. (atptour.com) Live ATP rankings published during the Marrakech week showed Trungelliti at No.100 in the computerized “live” list after his progression, a position that would be confirmed on the official weekly list published the Monday after the tournament. (tennistonic.com) He previously recorded a career-high singles ranking of No.112 on March 4, 2019, so this Marrakech run represents his best ranking movement since that 2019 peak. (atptour.com) Trungelliti is scheduled to face third seed Corentin Moutet in the Marrakech quarterfinals after Moutet defeated Taha Baadi 6-0, 6-2 to reach the last eight. (atptour.com) Other players still active this week — including names like Dino Prizmic, Adam Walton, Titouan Droguet, Mackenzie McDonald and Daniel Mérida — could affect official Top‑100 placements depending on their results in simultaneous events.
