Career

Ingaramo made his Grand Slam debut in the 1985 French Open and was beaten in five sets by countryman Eduardo Bengoechea in the opening round. At Wimbledon in 1986 he was again on the wrong side of a five set match, losing 6–8 in the fifth set to Hans Schwaier. He broke through for his first at the 1986 US Open, his four Grand Slam appearance, with a win over Luiz Mattar. The Argentine was defeated in the second round by sixth seed Yannick Noah. His best showing came in the 1988 US Open, winning matches over Horacio de la Peña and Andrew Burrow. He was due to meet Darren Cahill in the third round by forfeited the match in order to return to Argentina for the birth of his child.[1] His only doubles appearance came at the French Open in 1988, partnering Alberto Mancini. They lost to the American pairing of Eric Korita and Jon Levine in round one.[2]

The left hander competed on the Grand Prix tennis circuit and subsequent ATP Tour from 1984 to 1994. In his first Grand Prix appearance, at Barcelona, Ingaramo upset Guillermo Vilas. He made the quarter-finals at Buenos Aires, Florence and Madrid in 1985 but his best performance that year was in the Washington Classic, where he again defeated Vilas and also had a win over world number 13 Miloslav Mečíř en route to the semi-finals. In 1986 he was a quarter-finalist at Madrid and St Vincent and also made a semi-final appearance at St Vincent two years later. His only tour final in 1987, was in the doubles, at Bari, partnering Roberto Azar. The pair were defeated in the final by Christer Allgårdh and Ulf Stenlund.[3]
