title.<\/p>\n<p>Aged 36 and 63 days, Trungelliti has become the oldest first-time tour-level finalist in the Open Era after beating top seed Luciano Darderi 6-4, 7-6 (7-2) in the semi-final in Marrakech.<\/p>\n<p>And he surpassed the record by nearly two years as previous milestone holder Victor Estrella Burgos was 34 years and 190 days when he reached the 2015 Quito final.<\/p>\n<p>Before his match against Darderi, Trungelliti\u2019s previous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/atp-tour\">ATP Tour<\/a> semi-final was in 2018, but he never gave up hope of reaching a showpiece match.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course I believed it, that\u2019s one of the reasons that I\u2019m here, otherwise it wouldn\u2019t be possible,\u201d the Argentine said. \u201cAnd also I\u2019ve worked a lot, me and my team and also my wife, my kid, we all believed in breaking the record basically, and that\u2019s exactly what we have done now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the opposite side of the net will be <a

Carabelli to reach his first final.<\/p>\n<p>His run to the final has seen him become only the second player born in 2006 or later to reach an ATP Tour final with fellow teenager Joao Fonseca the first one to achieve the feat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m very happy to be in the final here in Marrakech. It\u2019s been a great week,\u201d the Spaniard said. \u201cThere\u2019s still one more match, so I have to be ready for it.
