Tennis Miami, Fognini wins with the thrill. Now it’s up to Sinner and Sonego

Day full of Italians in Miami: in the field Sinner, Sonego and Fognini. The top seeds make their debut in the American Masters 1000. Fabio, number 31 of the seeding, starts among the Azzurri tennis players. And he starts well, winning a game that was terribly complicated: the Ligurian beats the Japanese Taro Daniel in the decisive tie-break, after losing the first set 7-6 and winning the second 6-2.

THE MATCH OF FOGNINI

–

It risks being the match of regrets, it becomes the match of the narrow escape. Because Fognini loses the first set despite the three set points at 5-4 (and service available) and his life is complicated in the third, addressed only apparently by the break in the fourth game. There is an immediate counterbreak and Daniel even goes to serve for the match at 6-5. Bravo Fognini to break the opponent’s serve and bring the match to the decisive tie-break, won with only one mini-break advantage. The next opponent will be one between Rublev and Kyrgios.
