RG R4: "The Fog" Fognini def. Montañes 4-6 6-4 3-6 6-3 11-9
Entertaining match from these smaller guys, this was the real RG final. Montañes usual steady self with solid strokes and the Fog at times was more pro active, hit some fine dropshots.
Montañes served for it at *5-3 but was tight as a drum. At 15-30 *6-7 Fog gets an injury timeout for cramps. The crowd gave it to him after that, though mostly they were on his side during the match
Getting double footfaulted only Gaudio, Echagarry and the Fog can do this. Fog saving match points with dropshots and clean FH winners.
Too bad for Fat Albert had heaps of chances to take it.
