Fognini: “My kids come to Wimbledon because I’m playing against Carlitos”

Date:

Fabio Fognini (San Remo, 1987) Training one of Wimbledon’s external hints. Turn your head off and see the leaning on the fence Carlos Alcarazhis first rival rival. Ferrero He shouted “Give it there” and the transalpine nailed a rest on the line. “I’m going to play in the game,” Italian replied, waking up laughter to those present.

The interview, granted to the EFE and the newspaper as in the release of training, is happening thanks to the help of Fognini’s woman, the 2015 US Open Champion, Flavia Pennettathat immediately responded before the request.

The Italian, an all -winter champion and with amazing -wonderful successes against Rafael Nadal In his career, he told the conversation his good relationship with Alcaraz, his children’s anecdote, which would not come to see his father’s last wimbledon if it wasn’t for Murcian, and how the circle closed fifteen years later: his first game in the Cathedral was against Roger Federer In 2012 and perhaps the latter was against Alcaraz on Monday.

Q: What did he think when he saw the raffle and who played Alcaraz?

A: Honest, happy. Because of everything I’ve done, playing here against Carlitos is worth it. Central, against the most shaped circuit, the current champion. This cannot happen better. If we talk about tennis, to win games and this, obviously I want to play with him a little later.

Q: This is a kind of reward for your career.

A: Exactly, I see it. I knew him well, even though he was young and what he achieved with Jannik was like seeing my time a little bit. Roger, Rafa, Nole’s time. At this time it is a good reward. I hope to enjoy the maximum I can and play a great game. That’s the most important thing.

Q: Do you think it’s more about winning than fun?

A: I always said that the good ones, also in my time, Rafa, Roger and Nole, it was better to find them at the beginning of the contest. Because they just started and, well, she came from the winning Queen’s, the best at this time, but with this kind of players they would be better able to find it now. The first game was always complicated and obviously I had nothing to lose and my goal was to enjoy it and show what I could play. I like more because it’s like a scenario I like.

Q: What will be the tactic?

A: In these people there was a little thought, but it was really two days ago when the painting came out, my son called me and said “Did you see Dad? You’re playing with Carlitos”, and I said: “Do you want to come?” And Flavia (Pennetta) with the children arrived in London. Now when we find ourselves in the clues I told him “don’t greet him, look at him bad that he’s my opponent tomorrow.”

Q: If it wasn’t against Carlos, wouldn’t they come?

A: I don’t think so, because in addition to Jannik, Italian, my son Federico likes Carlitos. For them this is something they will remember. In Carlitos I got along well, I played twice in Rio.

Q: Is this a disadvantage that they can be trained on the middle track and not you?

A: Of course, yesterday they gave me a stadium and it was different. I don’t think about how to be central, because it’s new.

Q: Have you played?

A: Yes, in fact, my first game at Wimbledon Central opposed Roger and tomorrow could be the last against Carlitos, so the circle closed.

Q: Is this your last Wimbledon?

A: Certainly wimbledon. Then we need to think well. Next year is still very far away. I don’t know how to end it, I’m physically suffering on my feet, but good. Start with Carlitos, who has a very good relationship with him … Well, not just him, with his agent, with Juan Carlos, with everyone who took him. I’m so good ‘feeling’.

Q: It really has a great ‘feeling in Spain’s tennis, because it has a past associated with Spain.

A: This is my second home. I am in Barcelona ten years and the truth I have in my heart.

Q: Before there was a conversation about the Spanish Navy for the number of Spaniards there and now these are the Italians that dominate, did you name him?

A: “The Nroazurra Armata” (laughs). No, I don’t know. In fact, we are at the best time in Italy’s tennis history, with Jannik, Lorenzo (Musetti), with a wonderful young person in the background. You can’t ask for more. We are just one or two and now we have a lot and that’s the best thing that can happen.
