Italian tennis player Fabio Fognini asked world number two Carlos Alcaraz for his shirt following their match at Wimbledon. Fognini was defeated by the reigning champion with a scoreline of 5/7, 7/6(5), 5/7, 6/2, 1/6.

`Charlie, I need your shirt for Federico`.

Prior to the match, Fognini had revealed that his eight-year-old son is a significant fan of Alcaraz. “When the draw came out, my son called me and said: `Dad, did you see? You`re playing Carlos`. I said yes, and asked if he wanted to come. He replied: `Yes, yes, yes, I`ll come, I`ll come`. And Flavia [Pennetta] came with our daughter. When my son saw [Alcaraz], I told him: `Don`t say hello to him, he`s my opponent tomorrow`. And he got upset”.
