Italian tennis great Nicola Pietrangeli, a two-time French Open champion, has died at the age of 92.
Pietrangeli became the first Italian to win a Grand Slam singles title with his first triumph at Roland Garros in 1959 and retained the trophy a year later.
With 48 career titles, Pietrangeli was widely considered the country's greatest ever player until the emergence of current world number two and four-time major winner Jannik Sinner.
"Italian tennis is mourning an icon. Nicola Pietrangeli, the only Italian inducted into the World Tennis Hall of Fame, has died," the Italian Tennis Federation (FITP) confirmed on Monday.
