This kid is just 17 and even though he may be far from the heights of Nadal, Monfils and Gasquet at such an age, Fognini is a real bright spot for Italian tennis.
Number 501 in the world you may think there is no big deal, but this year is his first main year and hes already won a futures event in SPain as well as being in the final of another in Italy. Now in the Olbia CHallenger event he is in the quarters beating Luzzi in round 2.
So With this result he will be in the top 500 for sure and will move up quite a few places. A few more succesful challengers and he should hopefully be recognised on the challneger tour!
Great win against Arguello and I think its Venture in QF? I hope he can win. He curretly is up at 106 before today... a couple more wins and possibly top 100.
[5]FOGNINI, Fabio ITA vs GARCIA, Adrian CHI
GIL, Frederico POR vs Q
DECOUD, Sebastian ARG vs PUERTA, Mariano ARG
MARTIN, Alberto ESP vs [3]HARTFIELD, Diego ARG
I think its a bad draw too, but good news is that Fabio is in the top 100 for the first time, now at 98.
