Italian tennis player Fabio Fognini endured a poor South American clay-court run. The 31-year old was downed in the opening round in three back-to-back tournaments. In a tournament in Rio de Janeiro, he slumped to a straight set loss to Felix-Auger Aliassime. Fognini feels that there is a need for him to take a breather from playing tennis. But he will be maing an appearance at Indian Wells and may partner Novak Djokovic in the doubles. “I need some time at home and take a rest”, Fognini confessed. “If I will have some more mental energy I will be back in Indian Wells otherwise I will take some time off.” “I just retired from doubles. I have a little ankle pain and I’d rather not play. But I want to speak about the match and not invent excuses. He (Aliassime) will have a great future, he played better than me. I tried with what I have, which is less at the moment.” “In this part of the season, I lost my game. Last week I lost a very bad match and here I came with no goals, just thinking to play and trying to find my tennis again. I had five or six break points and I did not manage to break him.” Fabio Fognini [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/betting-sabato-4-agosto-mission-impossible-per-fognini-contro-del-potro.jpg]Fabio Fognini He reflected on another of his losses, this time to Jaume Munar in Buenos Aires. He said that he did entertain the thought of coming back home. But he reminded himself that with all of life’s complications, all he can do is face them head on. Fognini stressed on the need to turn his chapter around and do it in a short time. Then he would stay with his family and ruminate on his next move. His next predicted course of action is to be back on the tour either in Miami or in Monte Carlo. Meanwhile, the likes of Juan Martin del Potro [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Martín_del_Potro], Maximo Gonzalez, the Zverev brothers, Dominic Thiem [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dominic-thiem/], Steve Johnson, Karen Khachanov and Daniil Medvedev will be featured in the Indian Wells doubles draw.

<strong>History</strong>

The sport of tennis is said to originate from the 12th century in France. However, at that time, players were using their palms to hit the ball. From the 16th century onwards, rackets began to be put in use.

But it was only from the 19th century onwards that it became a serious game. A typical tennis match consists of games. Players score 15 points to 30 points to 40 points and finally a game. In the event of 40-40, also known as a deuce, a player has to gain an advantage and win the next point to win the game.

The first to reach 6 games with a minimum gap of 2 games wins a set. However, if one player wins 6 games and the other wins 5, the leading player has to win a 7th game before his opponent. In the event of six games all, on certain occasions, a tiebreak is played until a player either reaches 6 games or wins by 2 games if both reach 6 games.

Coming to sets, there are 2 types of matches, 3-set matches and 5-set matches. In the event of the former, if a player earns 2 set wins, he or she wins the match. In the latter's case, it is a case of a player winning at least 3 sets.

There are various tennis tournaments held throughout the year. But the ultimate tournaments are known as Grand Slams. There are four main Grand Slams held every year. In chronological order, they are the Australian Open, the French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open. Out of the four, Wimbledon is the oldest, first being held in 1877. The Australian Open is the youngest, first being held in 1905.
