Copil just isn't good enough yet from the baseline to defeat a crafty player like Vagnozzi. Too many bad errors at critical times.
Fred played the best match I've seen from him these past few months. Actually hit out on the ball and played offensively with his forehand and served well.
I expect Alessandro to be top 100 by next season, definitely by the US Open, probably sometime around Wimbledon or sooner. He does three things very well, move and hit big forehands, and those are two main ingredients you need to be a good clay courter, the other thing is his dropshots which are great. His serve isn't too bad, but he needs to work on his backhand.
