Flavio Cobolli, touching dedication to Fabio Fognini

Flavio Cobolli on Instagram wrote a nice dedication for Fabio Fognini, who a few days ago played at the Internazionali d’Italia in Rome for the last time: “This tournament was also special for another reason: it was the last Rome of Fabio Fognini, my lifelong idol”.
“If I chose tennis and not soccer, it is his merit/guilt. Fabio, you have been a reference for me since childhood. Your battles at the Foro Italico, your emotions, your talent … will always remain an inspiration. How fortunate to have had you so close to me on my path”, Cobolli wrote.
“I hope you can continue to support me, because I will also continue to bring a little piece of your spirit to the field. Thank you for everything, Fabio”. Fognini responded with a comment: “Thank you for your kind words Flavio!!! In Rome (and beyond) you will always have a big brother cheering for you!!! Push and fly high! I love you.”
