It’s already over for Fabio Fognini at the Rome Masters 1000. The Italian veteran, who had announced this would be his final participation in the tournament, was no match for Jacob Fearnley, losing in straight sets (6-2, 6-3) after just 1 hour and 20 minutes of play.

Thus, after 18 appearances in the Italian capital (tying Novak Djokovic and Stan Wawrinka, and one fewer than Rafael Nadal), Fognini bid farewell to the Roman crowd. He had reached the quarterfinals of the event in 2018, where he was defeated by Nadal at the time.

Fearnley, who made it to the third round in Madrid, will face another Italian on Saturday—Matteo Berrettini.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

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.
