Fabio Fognini leads the H2H 6-1 against Jeremy Chardy, and he also won all their previous four encounters on the clay court. Though Chardy has done reasonably well on the clay courts (career w/l- 185/141), facing Fognini on clay in home conditions will be a mammoth challenge for the Frenchman.
Fabio Fognini News
Italy’s hopes of reaching their first Davis Cup semifinal since 2014 rests on Fabio Fognini’s shoulder. In fact, only twice Italy has managed to reach the semifinal of this competition, in 1998 (w) and 2014 (L).
Fabio Fognini played a crucial part during Italy’s successful Davis Cup campaign in 2014. He won both of his singles rubbers against Argentina (R1) and Great Britain (QF), before failing to register a win against Switzerland in the semifinal.
The World #13 won all his matches (3) in the first round tie against Japan earlier this season, including the four-set win in the doubles rubber, to secure Italy’s progression into the quarterfinal.
It’s been a successful start to the season for the Italian, having won the title at Sao Paulo and made two semifinal appearances at Sydney and Rio de Janeiro.
Jeremy Chardy News
Jeremy Chardy gets the nod ahead of the in-form Pierre Hughes Herbert and Adrian Mannarino to face Fabio Fognini on the clay courts of Valletta Cambiaso ASD, Genoa.
Chardy could not win back to back matches in 2018 until March, but he impressed in Miami and Indian Wells by reaching the round of 16 at both the Masters 1000 events.
This is only the Frenchman’s fourth Davis Cup appearance. He did not play a Davis Cup match since 2011 until he was picked to face Great Britain in the quarterfinal of last year’s edition and he justified the selection by securing straight-set wins over Daniel Evans and Kyle Edmund (dead rubber).
The H2H between Italy and France is tied at 5-5 but France won their most recent meeting 3-2 in France (1996), and the home team won the last three meetings between these two nations.
