sure knows how to finish with a flourish.

Fognini fought off three set points in the opener before his eye-popping forehand clinched the tie break. Watch Fognini make magic at about the 4:03 mark of the video above.
"It was a really good point, an amazing passing shot and helped me to win the first set," Fognini told Davis Cup.com. "But generally I was feeling really comfortable on court and I was feeling really well.”
Fognini, who became the first man in history to rally from two sets down to defeat Rafael Nadal in a Grand Slam match at the US Open earlier this month, evened the Italy-Russia tie, 1-1.
Teymuraz Gabashvili
opened the tie with a 7-6 (2), 6-1, 6-3 victory over
Simone Bolelli
.
In Saturday's doubles,
Paolo Lorenzi
and
Andreas Seppi
are scheduled to play Russia's
Evgeny Donskoy
and
Konstantin Kravchuk
though both captains could make line-up changes. Bolelli and Fognini partnered to win the Australian Open doubles title earlier this season.
