Insolite - Fognini warns his son: "It's a false world".
Fabio Fognini is immortal. At 37, the man who has been a professional since 2004 has just achieved an unexpected success. Taking advantage of Casper Ruud's weakness on grass, the Italian won to qualify for the third round (6-4, 7-5, 6-7, 6-3).
Very happy after his victory, which he himself described as a gift of life, the Transalpine was asked about his son's future and his position on seeing him in turn become a tennis professional: "Federico plays both soccer and tennis, it's true that he makes his choices and has fun. In hindsight, tennis is a beautiful sport, it made me win, it gave me life, but I know what I sacrificed.
I think that, like anything else, you need foundations, and family is fundamental. We really agree with Flavia (Panetta), he's young, he needs to have fun and we don't put any pressure on him."
If one day he wants to become a tennis player, I'll support him in everything he does. I will tell him, however, to be careful because it's a false world, a selfish world, to keep his eyes open."
