Fabio wins in two. He dedicated the win to his mother who will have her birthday tomorrow. Talented player, fun to watch. Very Italian, temperamental, theatrical, charming.very Italian.hits forehand very hard, with little backswing, great down the line backhand.Last edited by gzhpcu; 04-21-2019, 07:50 AM.

Fognini was another level in Monte Carlo. Amazing to see him thrash Nadal like he did. Fognini is a player that I think most of us would like to see do better. I can do without the attitude at times but it comes with the package.

Yes great to see him finally fulfil some of his potential. And anything to stop Rafa racking up these ridiculous clay court numbers. I mean, 12 Monte Carlo's would have been just too much. It's outrageous when you think about it.

Nadal is certainly a phenomenon on clay. He's not to shabby on the other surfaces either. Fognini just had no fear factor going into matches with Nadal. That "I don't give a f**k" attitude helps him not get overwhelmed or try to do too much. Fogging has beaten Rafa 3 previous times before Monte Carlo.Twice on clay and once at the US Open down two sets to 0.
