Fabio Fognini is the latest name released for the Millennium Estoril Open 2019 - the biggest Portuguese tennis event, organized by 3LOVE in the Clube de Ténis do Estoril and whose fifth edition takes place between 27 April and 5 May.

Famous for his peculiar personality and unpredictable tennis, the italian is 17 in the world hierarchy this week and is a spectacular addition to the cast of the only Portuguese event on the ATP Tour - which already had two elements from the top 10, the South African Kevin Anderson (6th) and Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas (10th), the inimitable Frenchman Gael Monfils (19th), the young Australian Alex de Minaur (24th) and the title holder and best Portuguese ever João Sousa (41st) in the batch of pre-announced players. The final list of participants will be announced on March 19th, after the closing of the entries.

“I am very happy to come and play the new event in the heart of Estoril, really looking forward to play well in the tournament and enjoy all the beautiful things the tournament and the city have to offer. See you soon!”, wrote Fabio Fognini, in a message sent to the organization.
