He lost a four set match to Andre Agassi in the opening round of the 1998 Australian Open. In his fourth and final Grand Slam appearance, at the 1998 French Open, the Italian defeated world number 25 Goran Ivanišević in the first round but was unable to progress any further, losing his next match to Filip Dewulf.
