Fabio Fognini Bids Farewell To Tennis After Epic Wimbledon Battle With Alcaraz
All England Club: Fabio Fognini, the Italian tennis star, has announced his retirement from professional tennis following a five-set thriller against Carlos Alcaraz in the opening round of Wimbledon 2025.
The 38-year-old former top-10 player pushed the two-time defending champion for over four and a half hours before falling 7-5, 6-7(5), 7-5, 2-6, 6-1 in what turned out to be his final professional match.
"It's the best way to say goodbye," Fognini said during a press conference at the All England Club on Wednesday. Initially planning to retire at the end of the season, Fognini confirmed that the emotional and intense Centre Court battle had prompted him to hang up his racquet immediately.
