The Italian pair was defeated in the round of 16 of the doubles tournament in Paris-Bercy

Fabio Fognini and Simone Bolelli’s doubles tournament at the Paris-Bercy Masters 1000 ended in the round of 16. The Italian pair was defeated in two sets 6-4, 7-5 by the duo consisting of India’s Rohan Bopanna and Matwe Middelkoop of the Netherlands.

This defeat permanently barred the way for the Fognini-Bolelli pair for the Atp Finals scheduled in Turin. The duo will look to make up for it in the Davis Cup at the end of November.

The term ATP (Association of Tennis Professionals) refers to the association that brings together all male professional tennis players from all corners of the world. The ATP’s primary task is to protect the interests of the players and also to organize essential services, such as, for example, the drafting of the world ranking, called the ATP ranking, and tournament planning.
