Fognini bossing the match right now and controlling all the rallies.

So how crazy is this game of tennis - or more precisely, how crazy is this game of tennis when Fognini is playing. From struggling against an opponent on fire, suddenly Kyle wins 12 points in a row to lead 4-1*.

From Kyle leading 5-1, Fognini wins the next two games. Now *5-3

How crucial is this service game for Kyle.

Either knee or hip - commentary said hip, but hard to tell. 5-4*

Yes!  Kyle engineers a third break to take the second set by 6-4 & level the match.  smile

Not crucial at all.  Kyle gets broken, but then breaks again to win the set.

One of the things that always frustrates me at RG is that we are on middle Saturday, classic clay court match up on a show court and the stadium seems less than half full.

 The Kvitova/Kontaveit match seems fairly full.

But that's my point - "Fairly full".  For both centre court and court 1 at Wimbledon on the middle Saturday, you could fill the stadiums 50 times over with number of people applying for tickets.  I understand that in the 1st 30 mins etc, the stadiums are still filling up as people come into the venue, but we are now mid way through the 3rd set.  They should be packed out.

Unfortunately, that is a common sight at the tournaments in Europe. So frustrating that Wimbledon tickets are so hard to come by.

In general the crowds at RG have been poor this year.

MTO for Fognini - lots of tape being applied to his left ankle/calf
