There are professional connections that are exciting and one of them is the one that will form Alberto Mancini and Fabio Fognini in the next season. After two seasons in which he has alternated great successes in his career with physical problems that have prevented him from maintaining regularity, the Italian decided to undergo surgery taking advantage of the coronavirus break and wants to make the most of his last years of career. Aware that the passage of time has given him maturity and with the confidence that came from winning in Monte Carlo 2019, the man from San Remo seeks in Mancini that man capable of demanding the maximum from him and providing him with a series of intangibles that lead him to fight for glory. This is how the Argentine expresses it in an interview for ATP.
“His manager contacted me to offer me the option of training Fabio and I did not think about it. From the beginning he has transmitted to me how excited he is with this new stage and the maximum commitment he has to work hard. The tennis he possesses, that talent natural, it’s tremendous. I know he wants to make the most of the last years of his career, he’s motivated and aims high, “says the Argentine, with a remarkable experience on the bench, directing the career of Guillermo Coria, Pablo Cuevas or Nicolás Lapentti.
Questioned by the mentality with which his new player faces 2021, Luli was forceful. “The pandemic has given us all the opportunity to think well and reconsider our goals. Fabio has realized that he has a lot to offer. He will not continue here to keep playing out of inertia until his career is over, but he wants to give a qualitative leap in terms of physique, to be prepared for very ambitious objectives. He is able to break the rhythm of his opponent, has all the possible blows and knows that the fundamental thing is to avoid injuries and be in a state of optimal form “, sentenced.
“We are going to design a very specific plan to get the best out of him. He is a man who has always put quality of work before quantity, and it will continue to do so. We have not set specific goals for ourselves, but it is clear that qualifying for the Nitto ATP Finals 2021 that will be played in Turin would be something that would generate great enthusiasm and it is a very beautiful goal “, declared a Alberto Mancini who has the opportunity to once again enjoy as the main actor of the circuit by the hand of Fabio Fognini.
