Wimby R2: Biggest fighter on tour def. Mike Russell 3-6 5-7 7-5 7-6 6-3

what a comeback :woohoo: :worship:

fabio was 3-5* down in the 4th, *4-5 0-30
russell led *5-3 in the tiebreak and with *2-1 in the 5th

fantastic stuff from fabio(again)

good win for this non fighter, right bilbo?

Only Italian win today.

Russell served for the match at 5-3 in the 4th, had 5-2 in the 4th set TB and an early break in the 5th.

Classic choke, no excuses for Mike here.
Fognini showing the newfound fighting skills.

what was the choke? i didn't see any points he should have won but lost because of his thick arm

:eek: Wish Mike would've won this, but I'm growing fond to this Fognini

The Fog has some balls of steel.

Wow, Fabio! Nice comeback again ;) :yeah:

What a choke from Russell. What a chance wasted with such a draw...

This was a second round match.

Zzzzz Michael still finds a way to fuck it up.

He won? :eek: Holy shit!

Wait, wasn't this a 2nd round match? IIRC, he beat Verdasco in the 1st.

I'm sorry but thinking that Fognini is the biggest fighter on tour just makes me remeber when he was 5-0 up on clay (I think) against Murray and still managed to lose 7-6 :tape:

What a choke from Russell. What a chance wasted with such a draw...

and again i am asking:

what was the choke? i didn't see any points he should have won but lost because of his thick arm

i have seen the match and no chocking there...

Just disregard it.

good win for Fognini, but anyone is more mentally tough than Russell :lol: :o I'm shocked Mike even won a round :p

nice

Fognini's unbelievable.
He's the only one who played almost entire sets
so nervously/sloppily but managed to win most sets.
You can't say that about some #2 players.

finally Fabio is waking up ;)

And people think Fog doesn't care :rolleyes: He's just a cool cat and doesn't need to scream and run like a gorilla to be a fighter :worship:


:yeah:Fabulous Fabio Fognini:yeah:

Always a bad day when this guy wins, but the alternative wasn't much better.

Idontgiveafuckini looks to give a fuck eventually

At least this Italian has some fight in him.

Just disregard it.

yeah i know. but i hate when people who cant hit a ball themselves are saying choke choke choke everytime someone lost a match in wich they were some games up

For some reason, Fognini reminds me of this guy

Coming from behind = opponent choking.
