Fabio Fognini has been knocked out in the opening round of the Italian Open thanks to a straight-sets loss against Lukas Rosol.
The Italian, who was seeded 13th at the tournament, failed to assert himself in the first set as world number 56 Rosol closed it out 6-3.
Fognini struggled even further in the second before the Czech clinched the victory 6-2 with 67 minutes played.
Waiting for Rosol in the next round will be either Croatia's Ivan Dodig or Argentina's Federico Delbonis.
