During his post-match press conference in Buenos Aires after his victory against Pedro Martinez (6-4, 7-6) on Thursday, Fabio Fognini was asked about the future of tennis as well as the new generation . As usual very cash, the Italian has emptied his bag and it’s quite violent.
“Look, I’ll be honest. Maybe it’s because I’m from an older generation, but I don’t like the future of this sport. It’s always the same, you only see guys hitting forehands and bombs on serve, I don’t like that at all. When I retire from professional tennis, I won’t be watching this sport on TV or paying for a ticket to see it, I don’t think it’s worth it. The one I would pay a ticket for is Federer. I wish we could see him like the good old days, I love that, everything seems simple when he does, but it’s not. I don’t know if we’ll be able to see his best version again. »
