Suddenly he collapsed, his heart stopping beating. Then the providential intervention with the defibrillator, which transformed what could have been a tragedy into a story with a happy ending.

The episode dates back to Thursday evening, in the tennis courts of the General Porcu sports center in Selargius. The instructor Fabio Canetto, 28 years old, was holding a lesson when he saw, in the next field, a member who first knelt down and then finished face to the ground.

He didn't hesitate. First the cardiac massage, then the shocks with the defibrillator supplied with the system. Until salvation. From that day on, in the club they call him «Santo Fabio».
