Rafael Nadal vs Fabio Fognini Preview
Opting for a bit of a different play here, taking Nadal to win 3-0 at decent $2.05 odds. Rafa has been in exquisite form so far, winning all 9 sets and not even going to a tie-break.
Fognini did pull off an impressive win over De Minaur last time out, but the hard court definitely isn’t his favoured surface. Entering this tournament, he is actually below .500 for his career on hard court grand slams.
He prefers the clay court, like Rafa, and is essentially a poor man’s version of the same player archetype. Nadal has the better serve, speed, and shot-making ability, which is why I don’t expect too much trouble here.
As always, it depends on just how ‘on it’ these superstars are in matches like these. With Nadal yet to have a mental slip so far, I’m confident that continues here, at least at plus money odds.
