Joao Fonseca entered the scene for the first of many in Rome. And he was one and done.
While Italian veteran Fabio Fognini played his last, he has announced.
It would have been poignant if they played each other, but the draw gods decided otherwise.
Plenty more Italians on the sked: Arnaldi, Cina, Nardi, Cobolli, Bellucci, Gigante. There’s a hothouse somewhere where they’re producing them.
