Fognini had a nap at the 1st set, woke up at the 2nd set then went back to sleep at the 3rd.
Djokovic played some terrible tennis at the 2nd though. I think he had a match point at one point. But hopefully this is justt early round jitters for Nole. He'll play better next round.
shit performance Djokovic(I start watch from 4:4 in second), I don't know, maybe sell second set or something and this is reason why making errors on easy balls..
'woke the beast' it's not like Djokovic had to do anything to get past this obstacle, Fognini is just nuts and imploded entirely in the 3rd
Novak should be very concerned for the next round... oh wait he's playing Dimitrov likely. well maybe the round after where he could meet his Paris conqueror Querrey
Fognini played pretty well in the second set although Djokovic was hitting as many errors as a Macy's carries socks
third set started out exciting unfortunately after Fognini screwed up a 40-0 lead on his serve and was broken he sort of imploded and from there the match was over
fun to see Novak getting a time violation warning though hahaha

And did you see how he handled it? He even said "you're right" to the umpire. That's the way to handle time violation warning. He could have easily been furious with the umpire like every other player is when he receives a time violation warning at a critical point in the match.
No1e still away from his best.
But still enough to take it.
Fabio very talented guy. Sexy tennis. Most of time Novak wasn't able to read Fog's combiantions.
De ja vu. Last Year Novak struggled against Andujar after baglel and then he was beaten by server. Raonic time?
Too bad Vajda is not with him in this North America tour. Otherwise, he can smack Nole's head for not listening to him. Having too much fun in LA and not focusing enough.
not sure about Fog winners in the 2nd set, but doubt it was many
Nole just selfdestructed, no patience, no rhythm, desperately trying to hit through that slow court
i think the fact that the fog is so funny and happy on court makes bothers djokovic. He ends up putting himself onto the fogs level of carelessness. He lost a set to him at the olympics too last time they played.
highlight of the match was when a linesperson ran over to the umpire to tattle on fabio's illegal coaching. Fabio proceeds to have a one on one talk with the lad about how it is very wrong to deceive the Fog.
Fognini won 6 points in the 1st set. Then in the second he played far better, but Nole also made a lot of easy errors to get broken when he was up a break. Third set was more-less straightforward for Nole. Anyway, passable for 1st match, but he will have to get better soon
