The legitimacy of the injury has become a topic of conversation thanks to former world number 9 Fabio Fognini who questioned it on social media.
The Italian took to Instagram today to advise fans not to believe everything they have read about the Christmas injury. The Italian also highlighted the words “being hurt” in his Instagram story. Since then, Fognini has responded to reporters and the media by saying he never wished Christmas well. The Italian has said he hopes Nadal has the final he wants at Wimbledon this year.
He wrote:
“Dear journalists, I would like to tell you that I have never, ever referred to a champion like Rafa. And I could never afford it. It’s time to stop writing and report everything you want wrong. I wish very much good luck to Rafa and his team for this Wimbledon final “.
