After I got home and started watching the match on TV instead of just looking at the score online, I saw the name is Fognini, not Fogini. (Which made me feel like a nini.) But the nickname still works and I stand by my pointless rooting interest. If they ever get to play today, it’ll be interesting to see what happens - if either guy fails to warm up and get into the swing of things immediately, he could be off the court in about five minutes. The Great Fognini had three match points slip through his fingers yesterday, which is death for a lot of upset bids. We’ll see if he can bounce back.
