The Sydney International is underway, but before the main draw began, Fabio Fognini and Sloane Stephens visited Cockatoo Island—a small island in Sydney harbor.

Fognini was especially excited.

The island is quite different, I've never been here, so it's something special," he said.

The two also played against each other on a grass court for a bit of fun, bringing back good memories for Stephens as she "started her comeback during the grass season last year."

Fognini is set to face Alexander Dologopolov in the round of 16, while Stephens lost to Camila Giorgi in the first round.
