Six years ago Cosmos joined the International Tennis Federation (ITF, for its English acronym) to be able to stage the largest batting event at the national team level. Winning the emblematic Salad Bowl, as the trophy is known, is a desire of many tennis players and one that Argentina, for example, managed to achieve once in 2016.

The association between the company and the organization was to last 25 years and lasted just over five years.

The former Asturian racketeer whose best position in the ATP rankings was 40th in 1998, set up the 72 Sports Group agency in mid-April and “stolen” most of the clients from Cosmos how Couric, Rublev also Svitolina.
