How Many Titles Has Fabio Fognini Won?
Fabio Fognini has been amongst the top Italian players across the last decade. He has carried Italian tennis on his shoulders during his career spanning more than 15 years. He has regularly featured in big tournaments, showcasing some breathtaking tennis. Predominantly a clay-court specialist and known for his lazy elegance, Fognini is one of the most charismatic players on the tour to watch out for when he is on song.
Fognini reached a career-best ranking of Number 9 in men’s singles in July 2019. Further, he was amongst the few players who were strong on the doubles front as well. He achieved a career-high ranking of number 7 in doubles, back in 2015.

The 34-year-old has won nine singles career titles and six career titles in doubles. Turning pro in 2004, Fognini had to wait for quite a few years before holding his first title on the ATP tour. He won his maiden title in 2011 in men’s doubles at the Croatia Open. Partnering with compatriot Simone Bolelli, the duo won the ATP 250 doubles title on clay.
