There was a time when Fabio Fognini was the nemesis of Rafael Nadal, even managing to defeat him up to four times (three on clay). The former Italian tennis player appeared on Andy Roddick's 'Q&Andy' show to explain why this happened. "My game was a bit crazy, different from others, and it bothered him. I knew him very well because I lived in Spain for more than 10 years. I lost to him 14 or 15 times, but the four times I was lucky enough to beat him, I believe my game was not entirely comfortable for his. On clay, he was the best player in the world, but if I woke up on the right foot, he wasn't happy."

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.

Fabio Fognini has once again lifted a title after his retirement from professional tennis. Who would have thought that the Italian player would be succeeding in the popular television show Dancing with the Stars, where he has amazed both acquaintances and strangers with his dancing skills, charisma, and charm. He finished in third place.

The victory in the 2026 Australian Open has catapulted Carlos Alcaraz to new heights. Many experts now openly express their fascination with this player; some have even experienced Alcaraz's game firsthand, such as Fabio Fognini, who succumbed to the magic of the El Palmar native and had some tremendous words about his talent. "Could little Carlos Alcaraz be a mix of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic? In my opinion, yes. Surely, he will continue to win a lot in the future: he has Federer's talent, Nadal's physicality, power, and determination, and Nole's incredible elasticity and recoveries". This isn't the first time Carlos has been compared to the Big Three, but this comes from someone who truly understands and knows the sport.

Flavia Pennetta is the latest Italian to have conquered a Grand Slam, despite the attempts of Jasmine Paolini reaching the finals of Roland Garros and Wimbledon in 2024. Pennetta surprised everyone by winning the US Open 2015 against her compatriot Roberta Vinci. A milestone that propelled her to fame: "I broke a barrier, for all Italian women: it is no coincidence that, from then on, we girls started a cycle. If Flavia did it, we can too," she declared in an interview for the Corriere della Sera.

However, she defended her husband Fabio Fognini, crediting him for reigniting interest in men's tennis in Italy, not Jannik Sinner: "For women, I was like Sinner. And for men, it was my husband Fognini who broke the barrier of Italian tennis, not Sinner."

We didn't know that one of Fabio Fognini's strong points was dancing, but he is proving it on Dancing with the Stars: the popular TV show already has the San Remo native among its finalists, showing off with powerful performances like this last one, imitating Michael Jackson's Moonwalk. Fabio always carried class in his pockets, no doubt.

2025 has been the year in which Fabio Fognini decided to put the finishing touch on his professional career. The Italian, always a character, announced his retirement after his great performance against Carlos Alcaraz at Wimbledon: months later, he has spoken about an episode involving the Italian Davis Cup captain, Filippo Volandri, hinting that their relationship is not the best.

"The same day I announced my retirement from tennis at Wimbledon, I was having dinner and Volandri was at the next table. He greeted us, but didn't have the courage to say anything to me, not even about my career. He said nothing." Everything seems to trace back to 2023, when Fabio was excluded from the Davis Cup Finals without any explanation, as he recounts: "They didn't say anything to me, and I didn't speak with anyone. If you are a man, sometimes there must be confrontation, even with different opinions. It's ridiculous. I didn't accept it and I never will," confessed the San Remo native.

The news of the day has shocked the tennis world. The passing of Nicola Pietrangeli at the age of 92 has flooded social media with farewell messages to the Italian who won Roland Garros in 1959 and 1960. One of them was Rafa Nadal: "I have just received the sad news of the passing of a great Italian and world tennis player. My deepest condolences to his entire family, his son Filippo, and the entire Italian tennis family. Rest in peace, Nicola."

Another, like Fabio Fognini, also wanted to send a message: "Dear Nick, a large part of our history has gone. This photo in Monte Carlo means everything to me: your example, your wit, your light. You taught us all what it really means to win. Have a safe journey, legend!" Also, other Italians like Flavia Penetta, Lorenzo Musetti, or Jasmine Paolini have shown their sadness over the loss of the first Italian figure in the world of tennis.
