Us Open, Fognini defeated by Nadal in 4 sets. Rafa vs Gasquet
Fabio Fognini lost against Rafael Nadal in the second round of the Us Open 2022. The blue surrendered – after almost two hours and three quarters of a match – against the Spanish tennis player (mallorchino) in 4 sets with a score of 2-6, 6-4, 6-2, 6-1. For one set, the 35-year-old from Arma di Taggia (number 60 Atp) made the company dream but then succumbed to the blows of Manacor’s left-handed slam title record holder (22 ahead of Djokovic with 21 and Federer still at 20) who thus signed his 62nd victory on New York cement. During the fourth set Nadal accidentally injured his nose with a racket. Thanks to this result ‘Rafa’ has secured – first of all – a place at the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin (17th qualification for him in the tournament that closes the season, one of the few who has never managed to win). In the third round Nadal will face the French Richard Gasquet.
