The girlfriend of tennis star Milos Raonic leapt to his defense by serving up a cold-hearted dig to a rival who fat shamed the Canadian on Instagram.

Argentine Diego Schwartzman posted a photo on social media earlier in the week of him on the practice court with Raonic. But comments on the picture quickly focused on Raonic’s figure, with many suggesting he’d put on a lot of weight during lockdown.

Schwartzman later disabled comments on the post because it was being inundated with cruel comments about the world No. 30 — but not before Fognini chimed in, suggesting Raonic ate “an elephant” during lockdown.

Ringoir has a long memory though, and she went all the way back to 2014 — the last time Fognini played Raonic — to put the Italian in his place.

Raonic won that match in Cincinnati 6-1 6-0 and the Belgian model posted a screenshot of the score on her Instagram story accompanied by the caption: “Just a bread stick and a bagel @fabiofogna.”

The “bread stick” refers to the solitary game Fognini won in the first set, while “bagel” is a tennis term used when someone fails to win a single game in any set.

Game, set and match, Ringoir.

Fognini is no stranger to controversy. The hot-headed world No. 11 was fined $4,300 at Wimbledon last year for his meltdown during a third-round loss to Tennys Sandgren where he said: “Damn English. I wish a bomb would explode on this club. A bomb should explode here.”

Fognini also lost his temper at this year’s Australian Open in another match against Sandgren, blowing up at the umpireand being penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Ringoir is Raonic’s No. 1 supporter, famously gaining plenty of attention at the 2019 Australian Open when footage of her intense range of court-side emotions was captured during a four-hour epic between her boyfriend and Stan Wawrinka.
