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.

:rolls: :rolls: :rolls:

Close contested match for 4.5 sets. Pure theatrics after that MTO. Funniest match in a while.

Fog wasn't even attempting to move after 7-7, and Monty was still hitting straight to him setting up these shots for Fog to blast off insane winners. Comical serving, at least 12 foot faults, no attempts to move his feet at all. etc etc.

That was insane in every meaning of the word. Montañes has gotta be the dumbest player to have ever lived. No words for Fog's epic turnaround. What an absolute legend.

Shame on you fog: you are disrespectful.
Why? He played within the rules, it was obvious that he was cramping. If you have ever had cramps, you'd know they can seize quickly, can be very painful and can also be worked out.

I.m not a big fan of Fognini but kudos to him for pulling it out and Montanes :help:

And for those who will trash Fognini for lack of fitness - cramps are a physiological response to a chemical imbalance in the muscles - some people are just more prone to cramping no matter how fit they are.
