Flavia Pennetta, 43 years old and retired from tennis since 2015, will be one of those responsible for carrying the Olympic torch at the opening ceremony of the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics. This will be a tribute to an Italian tennis legend, who boasts the 2015 US Open and the 2010 WTA Finals singles titles, as well as the 2011 Australian Open doubles title with Argentine Gisela Dulko. She also won the Billie Jean King Cup four times (2006, 2009, 2010, and 2013). In recent years, Pennetta has been accompanying her current husband, Fabio Fognini, to ATP tournaments around the globe.
