Fognini: '99.9 percent of people paid ticket to watch Nadal in the final'
Fabio Fognini had said, prior to the match against Rafael Nadal, that he would have liked to have the crowd on his side in the Monte Carlo Masters semifinal. The Italian was supported a lot during the match and he won. "Today playing against Rafa, even if you play in Italy, it's really tough", admitted Fognini smiling. "But, you know, is true, is true, because I'm living really close by, and it's a big opportunity to them to come here and try to watch me play. So I don't know tomorrow how many they are coming, but that's not my problem. It's his problem. I hope that they are coming, a lot of people. Somebody are not happy, of course, because they buy the ticket because 99.9% was Rafa on the final, but here I am. So I know it's going to be really, really tough.
Not only for me, but also for him. It's a surprise final, because of course both of us, I mean, we was not favorite on the game today. He played really good and really solid during the whole week, because I saw him play against Dominic. I saw him playing the first match and he beat Goffin. And even if Medvedev was really tight, he was 5-1 down in the first set, and he was really good. I mean, I think it's going to be really tough. He have nothing to lose. I have nothing to lose. We start 50/50. Even if the ranking I'm higher than him, I know that I have to run a lot tomorrow."
