Beats Ruud and flies to the third round. Fognini’s feat at Wimbledon

Fabio Fognini’s feat at Wimbledon. The Ligurian tennis player, 37 years old and number 94 in the world, on a surface he doesn’t like on court number 2 of the third Slam of the current season on London grass, signs what could be the feat of the day by eliminating Casper Ruud, eighth seed, 6-4 7-5 6-7(1) 6-3 in three hours and 16 minutes of play.

Fognini, who could have already closed the game in the third set where he had a match point on serve at 5-2, thus reaches the third round. The Italian tennis player, who equals his best result at Wimbledon, achieved on six other occasions, will face one between Lorenzo Sonego and Roberto Bautista Agut.
