Fabio Fognini set to miss Australian Open entirely including Qualifying for first time since 2006
ATPWednesday, 20 December 2023 at 07:00
Italy’s veteran tennis player Fabio Fognini is set to miss the Australian Open for the first time in its entirety since 2006.
The 36-year-old has not featured in the final list of players to participate in the mega-event. It will be the first time Fognini will not feature even in the qualifying round in nearly 20 years.
Fognini did not have a great record while playing at the Australian Open where his best outing was playing in the fourth round which he did on four occasions. In the 2023 edition, his journey came to an end after losing the first-round tie to Australia’s Thanasi Kokkinakis in straight sets with a score of 6-1, 6-2, 6-2.
Overall in 2023, Fognini played in the main round of two Grand Slams out of four but failed to qualify for the fourth round or beyond in any of the mega-events.
The first Grand Slam of the year will be played from January 14 to 28 in Melbourne. This year, world number one and Serbia’s legendary tennis star Novak Djokovic will be defending his title once again.
The 36-year-old secured his 10th title while playing in Melbourne in 2023 after getting the better Greece’s Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 7-6, 7-6.
