The young italian Fabio Fognini is in a much better form then Carlos Moya, as in last Moya's game against Viktor Troicki I haven't seen anything from his side which could impressed me. Rather spanish player even don't run enough in game and it seems that his motivation is not at that level. Against Eduardo Schwank in French Open, Moya lost in 5 sets, he had played motivated then, no doubts, but even so he couldn't win in a game where he was favourite. Moya's single appreciated result registered from a long time already is his victory against Marat Safin, but even that game he had not won because his good tennis, it happened so because of Safin's well-known aggressive and risky style and in that situation the advantage was on elderly Moya's side with his defensive style. On the other side Fabio Fognini is in a upbringing form, he had played well in latest his tournament from Bastad, the game against Robin Soderling 6-1 6-7(4) 7-5, even if the result wasn't on his side. IMO Carlos Moya is overrated by the bookies at the moment as he was lucky to win against Vicktor Troicki who is a typical grasscourter, but against the italian who is a typical claycourter the situation will surely be another.
