13 years and 120 places in the world ranking separate Fabio Fognini from Felix Auger-Aliassime. And it is the oldest and lowest ranked, who triumphed this Monday on the Simonne Mathieu court in the 1st round of Roland-Garros. The Italian simply sent the Quebecer back to his beloved studies, eliminating him in three severe sets: 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. Much more roublard, Fognini managed the perfect match by thwarting his young rival born in 2000, author of 32 direct faults.
