Lucky loser, Marco Trungelliti, had himself a whirlwind of a Sunday Funday. As he was sipping a refreshing mimosa on a charming Barcelona portico he was suddenly notified that he had received a spot in the French Open (well, this is how it would have gone down had it been a Martin Scorsese film).

With the opportunity of a lifetime on the line, the 27-year-old Argentinian sprung into action. In my opinion, his next move is what won the hearts of the masses. He didn’t take the easy route. The easy route being a solo 2 hour flight from Barcelona to Paris. Instead, he did what a noble family man would do. Trungelliti packed his bags along with his 89-year-old grandmother, mother, and brother in a car and made the 10 hour drive so that his family could join him as he fulfilled a lifelong dream. I mean I’m tearing up typing this out.

With Nick Kyrgios injured, Trungelliti would fill his spot in the draw taking on Bernard Tomic in the 1st round. The perfect matchup. Marco Trungelliti, the blue-collar common man, facing off against the disrespectful brat, Bernard Tomic. I say this because of his 2017 Wimbledon display where he threw the match, said he was “bored”, faked an injury, then claimed he was “set for life anyways”. Tangent aside, Trungelliti triumphed with a 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 win over the Aussie.

And while he lost his 2nd round matchup in straight sets, you can’t help but love the story. He will drive back in a crammed 4 door sedan, happy as can be-having earned 69,000 Euros from his Paris adventure. And hey, maybe with that extra cash he can actually enjoy one of those mimosas on a scenic Barcelona portico, he sure as hell deserves it.
