General, it's good that Rafa got it done in straights. Congrats to him. Commiserations to Fognini.
Not sure Rafa would have lasted much longer. It wasn't looking good out there. So many errors from both players. But Fognini had 60 in two sets versus something like 39 winners.. I think Rafa had 27 or 29 errors himself vs 20 winners. But Fognini had the lead 5-4 in the second set, and then was up 40-15 and proceeded to collapse, and lost 3 straight games.
Rafa collapsed in the trophy ceremony with cramps and pain. But he later got up and waved to the crowd.
The win doesn't hide that his fitness is still an issue. He says he has shoulder problems as well.
Respectfully,
masterclass
