At 23 years old, Raphaël Collignon won the first ATP match of his career on Monday, defeating Fabio Fognini (6-3, 6-3).

After breaking into the Top 100 in February, the Belgian faced a tricky draw in Marrakech against the 37-year-old Fognini, who remains dangerous on clay.

Ultimately, there was no suspense in the match, as Collignon secured victory in 1 hour and 22 minutes after a controlled performance, capitalizing on his opponent's numerous unforced errors (30 in total).

He will now attempt to reach his first-ever ATP Tour quarterfinal against Nuno Borges, the tournament's No. 4 seed.

Adrien Guyot 29/11/2025 à 09h08

Since February 2022 and the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, Ukrainian sport has been heavily affected by human, structural and economic losses. Tennis has, of course, not been spared. While Ukrainian athletes have had to rethink their entire organization, an entire country, behind the scenes, has had to adapt and change its training conditions.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
