ATP veteran Fabio Fognini of Italy will go head-to-head with Roman Safiullin of Russia on Wednesday in the first round of the Chengdu Open. Fognini, the former Grand Slam quarterfinalist, is set to play his first match since losing to Tomas Machac in straight sets 7-5 6-1 6-3 in the first round of the 2024 US Open championship. The 37-year-old ATP journeyman can still mix it up with a younger generation of tennis players, though it’s becoming obvious that his advanced age is starting to play a bigger factor in every match he plays. Safiullin is a 27-year-old Russian netter whose best finish in a Grand Slam was a quarterfinals appearance at the 2023 Wimbledon Open. Ranked No.57 in the world, Safiullin earned the No.8 seed in the tournament where he hopes his pursuit of a first ATP career title will come to an end.
