Alexander Zverev makes his feelings known on Fabio Fognini's entertaining dance performance on Italy's 'Dancing with the Stars'
Alexander Zverev has shared his candid reaction to Fabio Fognini's passionate display of his dance skills on television. Fognini recently made an appearance on 'Ballando con le Stelle,' Italy's version of the popular dance competition show 'Dancing with the Stars.'
After ending his season by winning his first title in a year at the Montemar Challenger, Fognini ditched his tennis racket to try his hand at dance on season 19 of 'Ballando con le Stelle.' While the Italian didn't feature on the show as a contestant, he made a blockbuster guest appearance as one of the 'Dancers for a Night.'
Fabio Fognini partnered with star choreographer Giadi Lini to deliver a high-energy and entertaining performance to the song, 'Great Balls of Fire.'
Alexander Zverev was enamored by Fognini's performance, expressing his admiration as he reshared the clip on social media.
"This is the single greatest thing I've seen this year @fabiofogna," Zverev posted on his Instagram story.
While Fognini used his off-season to broaden his horizons with a stint on the dance program, Zverev opted to enjoy some well-deserved downtime with a relaxing trip to the Maldives.
The German relished the beachside getaway, spending quality time with his girlfriend Sophia Thomalla, playing games on the beach with his father and brother Mischa, and playing tennis with local children.
