Fabio Fognini, clear words on Jannik Sinner’s forfeit

Fabio Fognini is about to make his debut at the Internazionali d'Italia, perhaps his last tournament in Rome: "This stage for us Italian tennis players è special – he told Sky -. I am fine, I have energy and a lot of fire inside despite the bad breaks I had in my career. I am happy and I am trying to continue playing at a high level"

The Ligurian tennis player è expressed himself on the big absentee in Rome, Australian Open winner Jannik Sinner, who was forced to forfeit due to a hip problem: "Jannik who is fighting to become number one in the world and is doing incredible things. Knock on wood and hope he will continue to stay this high for a long time".

"This stage for us Italian tennis players è special,” Fognini continued, speaking about Rome. “I remember two of them, the first time on court one against Djokovic and then the victory against Murray at night at the central court in 2017".

"It was an unforgettable evening". Fognini praised two more of his compatriots, Lorenzo Musetti and Flavio Cobolli: "The former è the Italian who has more’solutions in strokes while at the physical level Cobolli has impressive physical strength".
