Luca Bottazzi (born 1 April 1963) is a former professional tennis player from Italy.[1]

Career

Bottazzi was twice a quarter-finalist in the French Open boy's singles during his junior career, in both 1980 and 1981.[2]

When he returned to the tournament in 1982, it was in the men's draw, with he and partner Raul Viver taking part in the doubles.[3] They defeated the Swedish combination of Anders Järryd and Hans Simonsson in the first round but were then beaten by Brad Guan and Derek Tarr.[3]

In 1984 he made the quarter-finals of the Palermo Grand Prix tournament, with wins over the world's 50th ranked player Blaine Willenborg and Argentina's Alejandro Ganzábal.[3]

The Italian was beaten by Marko Ostoja in the opening round of the 1985 French Open.[3]
