Фоньини – Алькарасу: Чарли, мне нужна твоя футболка для сына

Italian tennis player Fabio Fognini asked world number two Carlos Alcaraz for his shirt after their match at Wimbledon concluded. Fognini was defeated by the reigning champion with a score of 5/7, 7/6(5), 5/7, 6/2, 1/6.

`Charli, I need your t-shirt for Federico`.

Fognini also shared a story before the match about his eight-year-old son being a huge fan of Alcaraz. When the tournament draw was released, his son called him and exclaimed, `Dad, did you see? You`re playing Carlitos!`. Fabio confirmed and asked if his son wanted to come and watch the match. His son replied excitedly, `Yes, yes, yes, I`m coming!`. His wife Flavia Pennetta and their daughter also came. When his son saw Alcaraz, Fabio jokingly told him, `Don`t say hello to him, he`s my opponent tomorrow`. According to Fognini, his son was slightly offended by this joke.
