Fognini, the last act of Wimbledon with the applause of Alcaraz

Fognini closes her career by forcing the Spaniard Alcaraz to the fifth set, who wins after more than four hours of play and then pays homage to him together with the public of the London center. And now it’s up to Sinner that in the first round he faces the Italian Luca Nardi

What’s more beautiful than finishing the tennis player at 38 years old On the Wimbledon plant Against one of the greatest players ever? That’s what he will think Fabio Fognini rethinking on his London afternoon on the last day of June in which he managed to keep up to Carlos Alcaraz for more than four hours forcing it to the fifth set. It seemed like a final for the scenario, the intensity of the blows, the skill of the two tennis players. And instead it was only the first round of the most beautiful tennis tournament in the world and in the end our tennis player was greeted by a great applause of the public. All beautiful, apart from the result for Fabio, all beautiful especially for the tribute that Carlos Alcaraz reserved for him at the end. The Spaniard said that in some moments of the match he seemed frustrated for Fognini’s blows. Fabio played on par for four sets, losing the first and third set for a break immediately, winning the second at the tie-break and dominating the fourth in which at a certain point the Spaniard gave the impression of slowing down thinking about the fifth.

The fifth set and the interruption

The 6-1 does not tell the trend of the fifth set that Fognini played a parwasting two break balls in the second game and twice selling the service from advantageous situations. In the middle there was also an interruption of a quarter of an hour for the illness of a spectator in the grandstand, but the break does not seem to have engraved on the trend of the match that Fognini played in his own way with spectacular and unpredictable shots, penalized in the decisive moments by small inaccuracies and by a couple of balls that have ended up on the accident that favored Alcaraz. We don’t know if Fognini will change his mind and decide to play again but Wimbledon’s afternoon under the eyes of his wife Flavia Pennetta and children will remain unforgettable.

And now it’s up to Sinner

After the difficult debut of Alcaraz tomorrow it’s up to Jannick Sinner who in the first round will face the Italian Luca Nardion paper a much easier match than the one who had to face Spanish. Sinner after the farewell to two components of his staff (Panichi and Badio) decided to get to London Dr. Riccardo Ceccarelliknown as the pilots doctor, who has been dealing with Jannick’s mental preparation for years.
