Rafael Nadal tells Fognini to undergo surgery, Fabio says he has fear
There is a reason behind Fabio Fognini dropping his level against Rafael Nadal in Montreal. After winning the first set 6-2, the Italian just won three games. At the end of the match, at the net, Fognini told Nadal that he is dealing with a foot injury and he is thinking about possibly undergoing surgery in October. Nadal suggested him to do the surgery. "I had a surgery on that it's a very quick recovery. Don't worry", said Nadal.
In press conference, the Spaniard added: "I asked about what's going on in his foot because I saw him asking for treatment. Yeah, he was telling me what's going on. Something that I experienced before. I just tried to tell him my experience. But I am no one to say what he has or not. If you want to know, better ask him. But I just tried to give him a quote about how I went through that process that he's having."
Speaking about the match overall, the world No. 2 concluded: "These kind of days that things have been like this, difficult to find a real reason. I think things happens quick here because the court is fast and is true that in the first set, sometimes the player who is taking advantage stay with the adrenaline very high, is able to increase the advantage. Is difficult to stop the momentum of the opponent, no? Well, in general terms have been an up-and-down match, but a positive match for me because I have been playing better and better when the match was coming, so..."
