Wimbledon R2
Fabio Fognini is only motivated by the bigger tournaments these days, as he confirmed once again after an impressive R1 win over an opponent in Luca van Assche that he hadn’t even prepared for (original opponent, the lefty, Dominik Koepfer withdrew late). Now Fogna takes on Casper Ruud, who’s only ever beaten Laurent Lokoli, Alex Bolt and Albert Ramos at Wimbledon. Fognini has a decent record at Wimbledon and the really interesting stat is that Fognini has won over 15.5 games in 14 of his last 16 matches at Wimbledon. That’s the games line that’s been set for this match against Ruud and history strongly suggests that he’ll cover it. Only against Andy Murray (when Murray was world number one and Fognini won 14 games) and versus Tennys Sandgren has the Italian failed to pass that line in those last 16 Wimbledon matches and Ruud’s mediocre record on grass shouldn’t worry an in form Fognini. The Italian has a better win rate, both on grass overall and at Wimbledon than Ruud and while the Norwegian leads the H2H 3-0, none of those were played on Ruud’s least favoured surface. These are the matches that Fognini still plays for and he looks set to make things competitive here.
