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!
(1) Nalbandian (ARG) vs. Luczak (AUS)
Fognini (ITA) vs. (WC)Schwank (ARG)
(SE) Lapentti (ECU) vs. Brzezicki (ARG)
Pashanski (SRB) v (7) Starace (ITA)
good 1st round draw but terrible 2nd round
anyway if he makes the final in Costa he can totally tank this tournament
he's playing too much already
