Rafael Nadal and Fabio Fognini face each other today in the US Open 3rd round. The two have already played 3 times this year, and each time has been kind of a big deal. Fognini actually defeated Nadal on clay the first two encounters. Then in the Hamburg Final, the charismatic Italian started just going off on the Spaniard. About what? It’s still kind of a mystery. While I am not well-versed in Italian, it’s entertaining to watch and we can only imagine the colorful phrases Fognini must be using. Here’s just one:
Fognini to Nadal: “What do you want? Don’t break my balls! It’s always the same thing.”
We can’t wait to see what drama may unfold between the two this time.
