RG 2019 4R: Alexander Zverev vs Fabio Fognini

[Deleted member 744492]

Fabio won their last match in Monte Carlo, but Sasha still leads the H2H 2-1 and they are 1-1 on Clay. This match has the potential to be another epic clash and there doesn't seem to be a clear favorite.

Your pick?

 

[Atennisone]

Fognini better take this. This may be the first and only time I'll ever root for him.

 

[Chadalina]

Fabio wins 6 games

 

[junior74]

Fab Fog in four

3 racquet smashes for Zed

 

[Wynter]

Rooting for Fog, tight 4 setter

This!

 

[Berasategui94]

Almost everybody is playing Fognini on the betting market and his odds have been dropping.

 

[Red Rick]

Fognini to not look both ways before crossing the Street

 

[icedevil0289]

Hopefully sascha and it will be hilarious/ironic to see any fognini fans have a go at sascha for his brattiniess on court

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Fabio vs goliath.

 

[Deleted member 765152]

Fog to defeat Z in 4

 

[I Am Finnish]

Of course 99.99% of the forum will support Fognini


@Poisoned Slice Zedzilla needs your support

Get ready for the hilarity then. Because we Fogoholics all loathe Z.

Slight correction: 99.9% of the universe is supporting Fog!

I will cheer his name from the mountain tops.

 

[Gazelle]

Two sexiest players in top 100 playing to decide who is most sexy.

Go Fabulous!

 

[Sysyphus]

Zverev admitting that he enjoys feeling less pressure and attention on his shoulders this year.

Sez Tsitsipas has deservedly taken over a lot of the hype.

I think this could be a good thing for him. But we'll see.

 

[Forehand_Slice]

Fognini should win in 4.
If this was Best of 3 and Zverev was in decent form, I'd pick him though.

 

[Deleted member 765152]

They need to move the last 2 matches on Lenglen to another court such as Simonne. No way those 2 matches will finish today

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Roger in the studio right now. Fascinating.

 

[gn]

Fog in 4 or Z in 5. Painful to root for Z these days with the number of DFs he is throwing every match. So rooting for Fog.

Been to the cinema lately? I ended up at Pokemon last week. The most instantly forgettable movie I've ever gone to see. Forgot about it until just now.

Had one amazing line 30 minutes in and then was just all out average.

Zverev "sexy?"

Flashscore telling it how it is:

 

[The Green Mile]

Fabio already with a foot fault, better to get them out of the system early lol

Borg at 63 looks better than Zverev.

Yeah. I did PM you. But you did not reply. I thought you were ignoring me lol. I skipped Pokemon. Went to Aladdin last week and John Wick 3 the week before but did not go yesterday. I will probably watch Aladdin once again this weekend. This time on IMAX. It was that good. I loved the acting of the cast, story adaptation, music and costumes.

 

[Zebrev]

Zverev looks good in the opener.

 

[Standaa]

Is Fognini tanking already?

 

[Red Rick]

Please tell me this is not how this ends

 

[Deleted member 765152]

Fab d. Z 0-6, 6-0, 6-0, 6-0

 

[icedevil0289]

lets do this sascha

 

[Deleted member 765152]

Z seems to be expending a lot of energy. His legs may not hold up if the match goes long

 

[gn]

Beautiful from Fog. Making Z run side to side.

 

[Atennisone]

Just got home, and wanted to see some good tennis. First thing both of them I'm rooting for is down 0-40. Yeah

 

[The Green Mile]

These early rallies, how does Fognini even lose this match? (kidding, not kidding)

 

[Red Rick]

Found the scariest film of 2019

Spoiler

Street Court positioning, the movie.

PG 18

 

[Deleted member 765152]

Win or lose, Fog will entertain today for sure

I think this could be a good thing for him. But we'll see.

its interesting because contrary to what people might think, zverev is not the one who constantly put himself as the next person to take the mantle from the big 3, he put himself in the best position i think in 2018 maybe, but anytime people would ask him oh so and so says you could be the next all time great, he would def get uncomfortable and ****, i think he has confidence in his abilities, imo i have more issues with his stubbornness to stand so far back and not acknowledge it could be an issue for him

edit; *insert federer's STOP MOVING BACK!

 

[gn]

This definitely is not going to be easy for Z.

 

[Red Rick]

Been waiting for that first dropshot

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Already wasting 0-40 against this twerp, Z? That wasn't the plan!

 

[Deleted member 765152]

Fog holds from 0-40. Acts like he don't care

 

[Deleted member 765152]

Fog's BH has been smoking hot since MC

 

[Atennisone]

Zverev gives up on first set.

yes, he gets punished for his inability to take control of the baseline in these matches.

Falling apart at the seams here after a promising start.

 

[Red Rick]

Fognini just so solid at hitting tennis ball

 

[TheAssassin]

LOL that was poor.

 

[gn]

Here we go.
