In an interview with Repubblica, Fabio Fognini spoke about his future post-retirement. 'If I play bad, I ask myself about it. Having Federico (his son) I see it in a different way, I matured late. I would coach one and only one: Nick Kyrgios.' Fognini is coming from the Davis Cup loss to France.

He always gives his best for his country, but it hasn't been always like this on the ATP Tour: 'Facts say that when I play for my country, I bend over backwards. If it was like this in tournaments as well, in the past, I could have gotten different results.

I had worse attitude, but I also did beautiful things. Now I am better than the past, I have speed, strength. I improved on hard courts even if I would play the match of the life always on clay and then I see that the gap has decreased, the Big Four aren't there anymore.'
