In a grueling match that lasted for almost three hours, 35-year-old Fabio Fognini narrowly defeated his counterpart, Andy Murray, in the first round of the Ital

Fabio Fognini, who received a wild card entry, defeated Andy Murray in the first round of the Italian Open after being out of the game for a month due to a foot injury. In a nearly three-hour battle on Campo Centrale, Fognini produced a superior performance, hitting more than twice as many winners as Murray, with a final score of 6-4, 4-6, 6-4.

Andy Murray expressed his disbelief at a call by the chair umpire during his match against Fabio Fognini, asking, “How can you see that ball from there being in? How is it possible?” Despite Murray’s complaints, Fognini ultimately emerged victorious, winning 6-4, 4-6, 6-4.After the match, Murray continued to express his frustration with the umpire, while Fognini appeared to express a desire to continue competing, writing the message, “It’s not over,” on a camera lens.

With the fire still burning strong, Wawrinka admitted that he needed more wins to boost his confidence, but his game was already at a high level. He now faces Grigor Dimitrov, with the potential to set up an electrifying clash against world number one Novak Djokovic in the third round. The Swiss superstar dreams of holding another trophy, and with his passion and love for the sport still as intense as ever, he continues to push himself to his limits.
