Fognini hints at wife Pennetta making a comeback

Published Apr 20, 2020

Flavia Pennetta and Fabio Fognini were the star guests on the second episode of Tennis United. The weekly show features hosts Vasek Pospisil and Bethanie Mattek-Sands interviewing players and reacting to social media posts and news.

Pennetta and Fognini got a lot of air time on Friday, calling in from home in Italy (their interview begins around 4:10). The couple have been trying to practice from the safety of their backyard.

Fognini revealed in *Corriere Della Sera* that he's got some motive beyond just staying fit for his own return to the tour. With Pennetta joking that the pandemic would ultimately end with them getting divorced or having a third child, Fognini said:

“Nooooo, it’s too early! I would definitely like to have another son. But I’m trying to get Flavia back in 2021, like Kim Clijsters. I spoke to [Francesca] Schiavone and [Corrrado] Barazzutti, they train her and I manage them. I already have the tournament program ready."

They're also keeping their young children entertained. They have a two-year-old son named Federico and welcomed a baby girl in December.

Pennetta retired in 2015 just a few months after winning the US Open. The 38-year-old has been an active part of the tour, commentating and supporting her husband, who is currently ranked No. 11.
