Fabio Fognini has started its journey convincingly Wimbledon. The Ligurian veteran, given the German’s defection Dominik Koepfer, faced a different opponent than the one the draw had reserved for him. The reference is to the young Frenchman Luca Van Assche.
Fognini clearly imposed himself with a score of 6-1 6-3 7-5showing off some shots from his vast repertoire, in front of a tennis player who didn’t seem so comfortable on grass. A result that has important implications for our standard-bearer in the rankings. A victory, in fact, that allowed the Italian to take the n.83 of the virtual ranking.
In the next round the challenge will be against the number 8 seed, Casper Ruud. A match that, despite the clear difference in ranking, could be open. The Norwegian, in fact, has never shown great things on this surface and Fabio could have the tennis to worry him or, at least, create some headaches for him. Of course, the performance on serve will be fundamental.
