Fabio Fognini is currently playing at the Oeiras Challenger in Portugal, but nearly was out moments after he started in the country as he missed the head of the Portuguese Tennis Federation after a moment of frustration nearly turned ugly.
Fognini lost the first set against De Loore in Oeiras and threw a ball after missing a point for the set in anger and it skidded past the Federation President meaning he escaped likely disqualification by literally centimetres.
Currently he got a second set back and is now serving to go one away from the match. It is a lowly state for the 36-year-old who used to be World No.9 in 2019 and is heading towards the twilight of his career. Albeit still with some controversy as today showed.

They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
