I'll never forget Fognini-Nadal US Open 2015: what a match!!

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

Fognini's footwork is crazy good. It's insane how casual he makes the sport look.

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

Player like Fognini the streets will never forget...

lmao just the title got me laughing cuz that dude is the most casual player ive ever seen.. i thought i was the only one who thought so 😂

Fogna...one of the greatest talents of tennis. Always thought if he had a regular basis he would be Top 3.

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.

The Velvet Fog... Possibly the largest span between "best" and "worst" level of play of all players? Must be frustrating being a fan! :D And what a nightmare to play against when you realize that "Oh no... He's having a good day. fml"

Drop shot winner from Nadal’s forehand on clay, never seen other player besides Federer do that.

Fognini plays tennis for a living, emphasis on the PLAY. so casual, so talented

So effortless ❤

For a few moments there I thought the era is over. Forza Fabio 🔥🔥

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

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.

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.

My favorite player to watch along with the genius Roger!✅️

Remember that match v Carlitos in Rio both like it was yesterday and 6 years ago man, really enjoyed it, now fogna’s struggling with age and injuries

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.

2nd in the Race to Turin 🐐

Number 1 casual.

Fognini is one of the best players

more like being brilliantly casual

Fognini has the hands of God/Agassi on the backhand side, racket is effortless extension of the body, can make the ball do anything

He has casual like swagger similar to Federer.

Some says Tsonga is still trying to understand what happened at 3:36

2:24 Pio e Amedeo🤣

Mannarino looks pretty casual as well even tho he is not

Always loved LaFog. As brilliant as Fed, when he wasnt being ...not. 😂

Sin duda un tremendo talento... Qué le faltó?... Creo que trabajar un poco más el físico y la mentalidad ganadora.

Fognini had the talent to be in the Top 5 and even win Slams, but I guess he didn't feel like it...

Don’t you ever show this compilation to Rafa.
