However, as Fognini said before the match, he made things extremely difficult for Nadal, especially in the first set. The Italian took just 34 minutes to break him twice and take the first set for a 1-0 lead. Fognini was once again in control in the second set, leading 4-2 when the Spaniard stepped up his game to win 16 of the next 19 games and close out the match.

The 36-year-old even suffered an injury to his nose when his racquet bounced off the court and hit his face during the fourth set. While some fans raised concerns at the level that Rafael Nadal was playing, suggesting that it wasn't enough to go all the way, most were thrilled to see the Mallorcan display his grit for the nth time, coming back from a set down to win the match. "I'm amazed at the effect AO22 has had on me as a Rafan.
