I told my son not to greet Alcaraz," Fognini jokes
Fabio Fognini is preparing to play his final Wimbledon of his career. The Italian wasn’t favored in the draw, as he’s set to face Carlos Alcaraz this Monday, the two-time defending champion.
In a press conference, he expressed his happiness at the chance to compete against the Spaniard and shared an anecdote involving his son: "My son called me to say he wanted to come watch the match.
I told him not to greet Alcaraz because he’s my rival. He got mad at me for saying that.
