    Fabio Fognini Saves 3 Championship Points to Win German Tennis Championships, in Hamburg

    The Italian Fabio Fognini saved three Championship points to win the Bet-at-Home German Tennis Championships in Hamburg today, defeating the Argentinian qualifier Federico Delbonis, 4-6, 7-6(8), 6-2.  This is the 2nd final in as many weeks for Fognini, who also won in Stuttgart last week.

    Delbonis, who is 22, ranked 114, and playing in his first ATP final, broke the Italian at 4-5 to take the first set, and had 4-1 in the second.  He was holding his nerve the better of the two players, though the Italian fought back to get the second to a tie-breaker.  Delbonis had 3 match points in the breaker, but the moment did finally seem to get to him, and Fognini was determined.  Still, the up-and-comer from Argentina will move to #64 when the rankings come out tomorrow, and is someone to watch.

    Fognini seems to be bringing a new consistency to his game.  He had a fantastic week, and in the end the day was his.

    Roger Federer Beaten by Argentinian Qualifier Federico Delbonis in Hamburg

    Federico Delbonis, a qualifier from Argentina, beat Roger Federer in the semifinals of the Bet-at-Home Open, in Hamburg, Germany, this afternoon, 7-6(7), 7-6(4).  It was their first encounter.

    Federer, who recently switched to a new racquet after a shocking second-round loss at Wimbledon, and since dropped in the rankings to No. 5, was looking to gain some momentum this week, as well as ranking points, on his road to the US Open.

    It will be Delbonis’ first ATP final. He will play the Italian Fabio Fognini, who beat Nicolas Almagro, of Spain, 6-4, 7-6(1) in their semifinal.
