Fognini picks up a tennis racket again in an exhibition in Tenerife

Fabio Fognini left dancing to get back into his tennis player attire. The Italian, who hung up his racket after his first-round defeat at Wimbledon with Carlos Alcaraz, had barely trained in the past few months. But this time, he returned to the courts to play an exhibition before the final of the Challenger de Tenerife II. In fact, the Italian stated, "This time my experience here is better than two years ago," as in 2024, he was eliminated in the second round of the Canarian challenger.
