The Dane won his debut in the Rome Masters 1000 a Arthur Son by 6-3 6-3. Now, Rune will have to see their faces with a player with a lot of experience behind them and who will play at home. It’s about Italian Fabio Fogniniwith whom he faced last year in the Canada Masters 1000 with victory for the Dane. Now things will be a bit different as Fabio will be playing at home and the crowd is expected to support him en masse. A high tension duel is coming between two players with a lot of personality and character. After his victory against Fils, Rune spoke about the clash: “It’s going to be wild. It’s great because it’s what tennis is all about, which takes tennis to another level. I am very excited“.
In addition, about the environment that will be lived, the Dane said: “It is normal when you play against a player who plays at home. Fabio is a very experienced player on the circuit for many years and I have to be prepared. He is a great player and I have to be focused and enjoy the moment because I suppose there will be a large crowd and a great atmosphere. But that’s what I love about tennis and it’s going to be fun.“.
