2022 US Open R2: Rafael Nadal [2] vs Fabio Fognini [60]
- Thread starter Jokervich
- Start date
He basically hanged due to BH till first 2 sets, which has 1/2 forehand winners. His serve is good with good speeds, he had issues with ball toss or some other which bothered him, he'll fix it.

There are just too many things that needs fixing. I am not sure he can beat even Tiafoe in this form. If he had drawn someone like Draper/ Brooksby in R2 he would have probably lost.

It's probably just rust. Has only played 3 matches since Wimb.

Hope that is the case. We will know for sure only in R4. Even if he beats Gasquet with ease it won't mean much.

Rafa just working his way through the gears, similar to Novak at Wimbledon, he will play his best when he needs to. Its very rare these days you see Rafa or even Novak consistently win slam matches in straight sets no matter who they are playing.

You said he needs the services of a mental health professional. Who are you to judge whether someone is mentally I’ll based on some random observations of him in a tennis court?
Quite disappointing that you go there, What are your credentials to judge someone’s mental health without doing a deep personal one-on-one evaluation, the kind of required interaction with someone before the legal system makes its say in mandating therapy.
You’re really off base on this one and that’s why it’s so disappointing coming from someone with a usually mature take on things. Stop administering mental health diagnoses from the comfort of your couch.

Foggy sounding a tad bitter and jealous of the Mallorca man and his own wife.

You are correct that I shouldn't 'diagnose'. Mea culpe.

Rafa Nadal just battles on......no surprise there from the champion he is. I'm still thinking it's him and Daniil Medvedev from the top half - could be quite a show. We shall see.

Stoppage on Ashe for another heat-related medical emergency. Thankfully, Muzziah had good results from his sweat test and it’s not him being attended to.
Good luck to the fallen spectator!

Probably lost in translation from Italian, is my guess.

No, nothing lost in translation. Fognini was asked about playing on Ashe and he referred to Nadal as well as his wife who won the Open in 2015.
