Mr. Drama Fabio Fognini is once again involved in some controversy. After losing to 553rd-ranked Chuhan Wang 75, 64 in the first round in Shanghai, an upset Fognini appeared to make an obscene gesture with his left hand.

According to an on-site AP report, “After the two shook hands, Fognini gave Wang a little shove with his arm as they crossed paths, then flashed his middle finger to the crowd upon exiting the stadium.”

Fine coming?


The post handshake “shove”:

Fognini has lost five straight matches and 13 consecutive sets since beating Golubev in the US Open first round.

Daniel Says:

Somebody big should be the hell out of this brat. Just because it was a young guy. Doubt he would shove Korolev. Kkk

That was hardly a shove, more like a rude brush, but he still looks like a complete ass.

Brando GOAT Poster Says:

What a muppet move that was by Fabio! Easy to act out on a fella who does not look the most intimidating, but I wonder if Fabio would give the attitude to someone with a different profile.

Me guess not!

No big deal… the kid is new at this… he could have waited a half beat longer to shake hands with the umpire.
