Fabio Fognini’s Emotional Farewell at Roland Garros: Will He Return in 2024?

2023-06-04 21:41:00

He only had positive words regarding Roland Garros: “That’s the beauty of the sport and that’s exactly what I’ll miss once I’ve retired. It makes me emotional, I play and live for these matches.”

Will he compete once more at the French Open in 2024 or have we actually already seen his last appearance in Paris? “At the end of the year I will decide regarding my future in peace over a beer or a nice glass of wine,” he continued.

Under “normal circumstances”, i.e. without his physical problems, Fognini would hardly have lost the game once morest Ofner from his point of view. “At 36, I’m fed up with hurting myself. I don’t want to accept it anymore,” said Fognini and teased: “Then I’m just a show-off, but that’s the way it is.”

He can be proud following his performances at Roland Garros anyway, in the first two games he didn’t give a single set. In round one he bowled out a battered Felix Auger-Aliassime (6:4, 6:4, 6:3) and then Australian Jason Kubler 6:4, 7:6 (7:5), 6:2.

The Italian also announced that he now needs a break and will not play on grass but at home. “I signed up for Perugia (June 12-18) and Parma (Emilia-Romagna, June 19-24) but now I just want to go somewhere to relax. I think that’s exactly what I need now.”
