Fabio Fognini played a great 2019 and reached the Top 10 for the first time in his career. A few days ago, the Italian announced the birth of his second daughter Farah with his wife Flavia Pennetta. At the Monte Carlo Masters, he defeated Dušan Lajović in the final in straight sets, winning the biggest title of his career and becoming the first Italian to win a Masters 1000 title.

“I could qualify for the ATP Finals. It would have been the best way to crown a great season. I have to look ahead to my next goals and not rest on my laurels, but sometimes I look back to my win in Monte-Carlo, especially my first match against Andrey Rublev, when I was on the verge of defeat, but I found the strength to bounce back and win the match.
