Fabio Fognini shares how love story with Flavia Pennetta started
In an interview to Canale 5 Fabio Fognini spoke about his two-year-old son Federico. The Italian player said: "He will be free to do whatever he wants, but I'd rather not make him play it. He will be able to study, play football or golf: anything, but not tennis, because it's a very nice but tiring sport. You are alone, you have to cope with a lot of pressure, make so many sacrifices. At this point in my career I start feeling tired because of the trips and because I cannot spend that much time with my family."
On his behaviour, Fognini added: "On the court I am not calm but who knows me off the court I am very calm. I behave that way for several reasons: I have the fire inside myself, I can have two crazy seconds or it can sometimes be a tactic to lose time."
Fognini and his wife Flavia Pennetta are set to become parents for the second time in January: "We are expecting a girl, but we have not chosen the name yet. It will definitely start with F, like my whole family. Hopefully everything goes well, which is the most important thing."
On how the love story with Pennetta started, Fognini concluded: "We trained in the same tennis club in Barcelona. Before we were friends, then we fell in love", said the 32-year-old who also admitted that the generational switch of the Italian tennis is an amazing news for the country."
