Luciano Darderi starred in one of the most viral moments of the ATP Rome 2026 before his semifinal match against Casper Ruud yesterday afternoon, as he forgot to shake hands with the little girl who accompanied him onto the court. However, today he posted a statement on Instagram apologizing for the incident. "I deeply regret not shaking hands with Camilla: it was an involuntary gesture, which occurred in a moment of great concentration and tension in an important setting. Those who truly know me understand how human I have always been with the fans and the respect I have for all the people who are part of this sport," wrote the Italian tennis player.
