Britain's Jacob Fearnley is safely through to the second round of the Italian Open with a straight-set victory over home hero Fabio Fognini.
The 23-year-old defeated the veteran Italian - who announced on Tuesday this would be his last Masters 1000 event in Rome - 6-2 6-3 in the first round.
Fearnley will now face another Italian opponent, Matteo Berrettini, on Saturday.
He admitted it was a "tough match" against the 37-year-old Fognini and he had to "dig deep" in both sets.
"I knew playing such an experienced player like Fabio that I had to up my game in order to win," Fearnley told Sky Sports.
