In a good day Fabio can play (and win) vs (almost) anyone but I don't agree with people who believe that just the crazy head is the problem, sure with a "normal" head he would have a better career (probably top ten with some exploit in Slam and 1000) but it's the serve (not the first ball but rather the second) the real weakness. Anyway see him hit the ball indifferently with forehand or backhand it's spectacular, few players have the ability to hit so early (often with arm-speed only) and volée also is good; he is a talented player. Sry for "eng".

@alessandrochirchiglia8009 5 жыл бұрын

@mikefox3258 5 жыл бұрын

I agree, his second serve is nearly as bad as Andy Murray's. But I think he would be a top 10 player consistently (or would have been in his younger years) with a solid mental game. Too often, he seems to lose concentration and has little interest.

@loquendo980 5 жыл бұрын

Nadal achieved the no. 1 with a very bad serve, that in the tough matches against a great server like Federer turned into a huuuge disadvantage, and even more in hard and grass courts. So probably with more composure he could have been at least top 5 surely.

@loquendo980 5 жыл бұрын

Been in the Cordoba Open in Argentina a couple of days ago and watched Fognini throwing the match from the very beginning of the match, he was received like he was in Italy and he didn't even put a miserable piece of effort, he was anchored to the ground. And he was playing against Aljaz Bedene, an easy match with a bit of attitude, and yes, he served bad indeed but when you have zero concentration/motivation/call it what you want you will play worse, and that affects also your serve.

Ragazzi quando il Fogna è in giornata si capisce da due cose: se gli fai colpire il rovescio da fermo e dalla racchetta parte un missile aria-terra che scava i buchi e quando colpisce il dritto lungolinea in corsa mettendola nell'angolo. Ma è soprattutto il rovescio ad essere strabiliante, spazza il campo e lo disegna come cavolo gli pare. Un fenomeno vero.

@brucegardalake1869 5 жыл бұрын

Nadal was constantly taking the ball too late, expecially with his forehand, because of Fognini's lightning-fast shots. With a similar hitting condition, you've to give him credit for mostly being able to keep the ball in game, despite being so often forced to hit extremely late. He was mostly directing his shots to the centre, just in order to try containing his forced errors. It was just a "survive or not" game. Probably he only hoped to survive till Fognini lowered his level of play. He proved wrong that day, but this type of game saved his matches so many times.

He's actually a far better athlete than most can think, and has got awesome body balance. He's almost never off balance while he hits the ball, just wipping that lightning-fast arm with complete smoothness (reminds a lot Federer in this ability). This helps a lot in being so accurate

Bollettieri put him in the 3 most talented players He’s ever seen in his career. It’s so unfortunate that Fabio never had the brain to accompany this immense talent. If only….by the way it’s crazy the pace he generates without even using his legs, particularly on the backhand it’s unbelievable, just standing still, chilled and whipping with his upper body no legs at all.
