Yes, he keeps energy, without too much unnecessary jumping or moving. I think that recreational players should be done the same

Lmao the streets !!!

Top 3 nah

Top3 is too much, he still had a couple of particular weaknesses (apart from the mental side), which were his serve and his body (which is injury prone). You can’t be that high without a good serve unfortunately, and you can’t expect to be very consistent if you tend to have injury issues quite often. Anyway, he might have been a stable top10 which some peaks in top5

Not Top 3 uhu

I see that we don't know much about tennis here... Fognini, head aside, has shots to leave any type of player standing on their feet, as he has clearly demonstrated several times. It's a shame that his athletic form and, even more so, his mental strength allowed his talent to express itself only to a minimal extent.

​@@prempititantipool3075powerful forehand though

kyrgios....?

@@1Hydraulic1 Most definitely on the list.

If there's an injury, they do.

too weak on serve

Nole's serve it wasn't very good either. But you see.. now he's a bot serve 195+km/h at every angle. Serve is the most constructable shot, because it depends only on you. Who knows.. I guess Fabio just played for the money, and entertainment..@@aggiotaggio4119

Probably worse

They played in Rio 2022 and 2023, what you say makes no sense

@@ijump-bounce2283 of course I enjoyed this year's one, 2022 was 2-0, more straightforward

fogna just won a challenge in Valencia, I think. incredible final

I think people don't give Fognini enough credit for his casual demeanor. Borg had his poker face very much on purpose. Do we find that to seem more of a "choice" for the "emotionally repressed" Swedes, whereas in the "demonstrative Italians" it seems like laziness? The "indolence" is also a way to keep your head on straight. Certainly, if you're playing Fognini, you hope he loses his cool and starts showing it; otherwise, you are fighting not to get made at how damned casual he's being, winning or losing to you. But all that aside, I just find his "style" so infinitely charming. And in that stretch of the US Open vs. Nadal, it truly is inspiring to see absolutely everything running at peak power. The mechanics of his backhand, his shot selection. I love watching tennis players who are playing for the sheer pleasure of knocking the ball around (even when they get frustrated nad can't reach that). I do have the people I hope win (go Stan!), but I really watch tennis to watch the joy of someone playing tennis.

In doubles maybe he will do it

Not in a million years lol. Also, despite him having his moments, he is even more unbearable than Tsitsipas. Which is saying a lot imo.

Definitely easy top 10.

1

If he played like this _consistently_ he would no doubt be number 1 and have 20 grand slams easily. But unfortunately Fabio is not built that way.

He's been top 10, indeed...@@pkoppula

There is nothing casual about Rafa!
