Fabio Fognini will kickstart his 2021 Italian Open campaign against Kei Nishikori in the first round.
Fognini and Nishikori both had similar fortunes at the Madrid Open as they faced defeat in their second-round matches. Interestingly, both players were ousted by the eventual finalists, Matteo Berrettini and Alexander Zverev, respectively.
That said, Kei Nishikori has had a slightly better but shorter claycourt campaign so far. The Japanese made it to the round of 16 in Barcelona, where he gave a stiff fight to Rafael Nadal; Nishikori had also beaten Cristian Garin in the Spanish city. In Madrid, Nishikori managed to defeat Karen Khachanov.
