His career-high singles ranking is world No. 13, achieved in March 2014, and world No. 7 in doubles, achieved in July 2015.

Together with Simone Bolelli, Fognini won the 2015 Australian Open doubles event, becoming the first all Italian men's pair to win a Grand Slam title in the Open era.
Fognini was born to Silvana and Fulvio, a businessman, and his younger sister. He began playing tennis when he was four years old and is also a fan of football, supporting Inter Milan and Genoa FC.
