Flavia Pennetta confesses: “Today I feel like crying.”
Flavia Pennetta confesses: “Today I feel like crying.”
Flavia Pennetta participated with husband Fabio Fognini in the talk ‘Doppio in Famiglia,’ along with Stefano Meloccaro, on the occasion of the ‘Sky 20 years’ event.
The former Italian tennis player confessed a backstory about her historic victory at the Us Open: “When I see the images of the US Open victory where I announced my retirement, I really have goosebumps and I feel like crying today. At that moment I remember that I did not cry, I was calm, I was seraphic, not a single tear came out, Now, however, when I relive those moments, I get so emotional, because almost ten years have passed, I had clear ideas then and I continue to have them today. I cried a lot the night before and the morning before I went to the circle. So, I had no more tears because of tension, because I didn’t know how to handle a situation that was an incredible opportunity. I knew it was my last one, that I had to make no mistake, that I had to bring it home yes or yes, that it was my last chance. That destabilized me a little bit the night before and the morning, but once I stepped onto the court, into the circle, it was like a computer.
“Twenty years ago I was always asked what I would like to leave to tennis and I always answered that I would like to be remembered as, maybe, the strongest Italian player, to leave a mark in Italian tennis, but to leave so much in the world, with a farewell like this, is even more beautiful,” added the Brindisi player.
“I have dedicated myself, and I dedicate myself so much to the family, the children are growing up, I am also starting to have some comeback as Flavia the tennis player, Flavia person, Flavia woman. I would love to pass on to young people what I have experienced. I’m not talking about very young kids, but as early as 16 to 20 years old, an age target where I think I can add something up. Why not? I am very open,” Pennetta concluded.

The reigning world champion will take to the track Friday on the No. 1 Aprilia for the first time in an official test since the disastrous crashes that caused him some fractures in winter testing and in training.
Martin’s goal is to adapt as soon as possible to the new bike in order to have his say over the course of the season, although the train for the World Championship seems to have now departed, given the current pace and superiority of the Ducatis and in particular Marc Marquez, Pecco Bagnaia and Alex Marquez.
Martin won the 2024 World Championship with the Ducati’s satellite Pramac team bike, bending Bagnaia.

A.C. Milan president Paolo Scaroni has angered Rossoneri fans on social media for words spoken during an event at San Siro organized by the newspaper Il Foglio: “I do not feel I can say that the season is just totally negative, I remember that we won the Italian Super Cup”.
“The fans are the focus of our attention, it is so important to have them by our side even in such a difficult season like this. They are showing resilience, putting up with the team even when performances are not brilliant”.
The market moves: “Being active in the market is one thing, then being successful is another. Some of the signings we have made have been great successes, becoming long-term Milan players with very good performances. Whereas other signings have been less successful, certainly Morata was not a great operation for so many reasons. Reijnders and Pulisic in particular have had consistently very good returns, then Leao excites everyone”.
“We intend to continue this policy of ours of being active especially on young people, so we will continue to strengthen the team. Furlani is in charge of that first of all, then there’s also Ibrahimovic along with our whole team. We would like to have a great season next year. Zlatan is an added value for Milan and for RedBird, he is a RedBird consultant loaned to Milan”.
