    Since I usually bitch about the video resolution quality of highlight reels, it is only fair that I give you props and appreciation for only showing high resolution highlight videos. Thanks!

      Thanks man, means a lot! I always try to find the clips in best quality possible, even if it means downloading entire matches. Sometimes great quality is out there, sometimes not (usually older matches)

    I love casual players like Fabio. Yes, he could have competed in grand slams. But there are plenty of players who already do that. Fabio lives to entertain. Gotta love that

    Casually jogging is a most glorious description. People who say Fognini could have done more; I think he lived (is living) his dream just like he wants to. I've never dreamt of being number 1; no. 2 is fine in my book. Not everyone can be such an overachiever. That doesn't mean I couldn't get frustrated with my playing; you just don't have to be insane about being no. 1, especially if you realize it's more work than its worth it.

    • @talastra
      @talastra 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      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.

    • @michelegavelli2479
      @michelegavelli2479 ปีที่แล้ว +23

      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

      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.
