Wow-- that couldn't have been an easier victory! 6-3 6-1 in under an hour and eight minutes.

Yesssssssssss. He should be able to beat Fognini for the final berth. Tommy didn't play this tourney last year so does this mean if he wins he gets the full 250 points added to his ranking? Or does something else come off?

I'm not sure... I always find the rankings a bit confusing  I think he loses last year's points for this week, and gains this year's points, regardless of which tournaments he played/plays?
I'll be watching live stream tonight! The other semifinal can also be quite interesting... Watching tennis and eating a nice dinner, great way to spend a Saturday evening

Re: ~ * ~ The "Bienvenido a Santiago Tommy!!!" Movistar Open 2011 Cheering Thread ~ *
Ok, what happened between Fognini and Tommy? I knew there were instances during the match where they were yelling at each other and giving each other dirty looks, but Tommy refused to shake his hand after he won, and the crowd was booing him so loudly he refused to give the post-win interview. What caused all that? I was doing homework while watching, so I obviously missed something.

You and me both then... I only saw what you saw too, some argument or something during a game. He was obviously very angry about something!

If the crowd still feels the same way tomorrow as they did at the end of the match, it'll be an interesting final!
I'm sure the locker room is a peaceful place to be right now lol

There will probably be a security guy or two in there
Apparently they're playing each other again in the first round next week... that's going to be interesting

They did draw each other, it's on the Brasil Open website. Yikes! That will be a tense match. I hope there is a live stream! 
The Tommy haters on MTF are coming out in full force now after this afternoon's incident.

Fognini could have just shrugged Tommy's refusal to shake his hand and left, but he was mad about the loss and the arguments they had on court. I hope this fires Tommy up for tomorrow. Now Tommy looks like a culo. Oh well.

All that matters is he won. But I would think that episode between the two would somehow get onto You Tube. That had to be memorable. Hope he'll put it aside for tomorrow's match. He's tough. I think he will.

Agreed... I also find it hard to believe that Tommy would refuse to shake hands for no apparent reason. He also looked quite hurt when he was waiting for the interview and the crowd kept booing him
So... what exactly did Fognini do then? I had a very crappy live stream that kept freezing, plus the sound was horrible... not that I would've been able to understand what they were saying
