Fabio Fognini's tournament ends in the worst possible way, with an injury and a retreat.
The 35-year-old from Arma di Taggia, # 51 ATP, after adjusting the Australian Alexei Popyrin, # 102 in the ranking in three sets at his debut, gave the green light to the Dutch Botic Van de Zandschulp, # 29 ATP and 26th seeded, on the score of 64 76 (2) 3-2 (40-15) for his opponent, after just over two hours of play, due to an injury to his right calf.
The Dutchman, in his second appearance in Paris, therefore lands for the first time in the third round.
