Fabio Fognini Forehands

Fabio Fognini pushed Carlos Alcaraz to five thrilling sets at Wimbledon today in what may have been his last match as a professional. He was visibly emotional afterward and hinted that this could be a fitting end to his career.

For the July issue, we’re spotlighting Fognini’s compact but explosive forehand for the very first time shot at 1000 frames per second!

We’d love to hear your insights and thoughts on both Fabio's powerful forehand as well as his colorful career.

Jeff, perfect timing to look at the Fognini forehand on the forum. JY did this years ago. JY pined that Fabio may be the perfect model for the ATP type 3 forehand. I tend to agree. The Bruce Lee 1 inch punch of forehands, the anti Medvedev forehand. It is such a quiet, simple, compact, powerful forehand, and his spin numbers that I have seen are right up there at the very top of the game.
