Yea, he just had that incident tho where last match when he lost to Krajinovic he called him a fukking gypsy and theres a video and shit and he apologized on twitter. Montanes is in decent form but Fognini at this year has been elite on clay and I think he has had all week to prepare for trying to defend the title (shit I meant defending finals points from last year)
The other thing is there h2h weighs heavily in favor of Montanes http://www.tennisabstract.com/cgi-bi...AlbertMontanes , this could be a tough one for Fognini i personally would bet I think -255 is sorta steep but I just think Fognini will make a run here
It's a 250, give a fukk level is usual low. I think we tend to over estimate the defending points motivation in these small tournaments. Especially if it's a higher ranked player, 250 points isn't much.
They have a legendary game between them. Fognini made tons and tons of consecutive foot faults, that game is pretty famous
I don't think Fognini is interested in winning games lately. He proved that he is a good player who would be great with more focus. But he does not want to develop that focus, he collects checks,have fun, make fans have fun, bang chicks and live a great life without trying that hard.
