And now? what shall we say? We give to Caesar what is Caesar’s? We will tell you good, Fabio Fognini? The tennis player from Liguria, the boy all instinct and talent, has experienced one of its best days, and hath taken away a whim great. Indeed, more than one: he beat Rafa Nadal in a Grand Slam, beat him in the fifth set, a set that has had an alternation of incredible break, beat him in comeback (it was two sets to zero below), he beats him for the third time this year, and there was never any tennis player ever succeeded in the career of the Spaniard.
In addition, hath taken away the stone: between the two there was bad blood lately. Just remember what happened in Hamburg, final tournament: Fognini, tired of being ‘caught’ and putting up with jokes angle clan Nadal, a change of the field had faced his rival, saying that it had to stop its because they were breaking “los huevos”. Needless to say that Nadal had taken it as a lack of respect, and great coldness had fallen between the two. On that occasion, it was in early August, won the Spaniard.
As fate would give another chance to the Ligurian, and revenge is a dish best served cold, and how good might add: Fognini today has virtually ended his career Nadal in Grand Slam. The Spaniard comes resized by this 2015, and is an Italian to seal this data. It is always said that Nadal was unbeatable in the Slam because when you play on September 3rd out of five, no one holds to its physicality. Well, Fognini was in camp three and three quarter hours, Nadal fought back him. Even John McEnroe was incredulous, and applauded the Italian who made something like seventy winning points, shots that Nadal could only watch helplessly.
We hope, for him and for Italy, this victory give him the final click to the turning point in his career, that you can find the continuity that all we ever hoped. But one thing is certain: Fognini is no longer the talented tennis player who smashes rackets and gives entr’actes field. The boy has become a man, better late than never. And it confirmed once again that the money for the ticket, to see it in action, are always well spent.
US Open third round: Fognini b. Nadal 3-6, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-4
