Montemar Ch F: Fabio Fognini [1] def. Lukas Neumayer 6-3, 2-6, 6-3 Match Stats

📸 ATP official website

L. Neumayer tried his best to match F. Fognini's rhythm when he also found his lines, but it was insufficient as the latter drew first blood in the third set by breaking early with some forehand winners paving the way to it. While the former tried to take advantage of the latter's tightness, he could not maintain the pace, where an erratic service game caused the Italian first seed's break for the match. As a result, F. Fognini generated 13 break points, converting 13 of them than L. Neumayer's 12 chances to break and converting 5 of them.

Besides, despite the slight dip in the second set, F. Fognini also appeared more solid on serve. Scoring 2 aces than L. Neumayer's 1, F. Fognini had the slight edge on his first serves by winning 60% of his first serve points, 1% more than L. Neumayer, which helped him control the majority of the flow. However, his 7 double faults added the risk to his second serves, but the Italian first seed was still able to win 47% of his second serves points, 8% more than L. Neumayer, who double-faulted 5 times but frequently erred his follow-up midway, mostly third-shot errors.

With this title, F. Fognini returned to the Top 100 for the first time as he went back to 89 live by the end of the tournament, subsequently withdrawing from the Maia Challenger for his well-deserved rest, confirming his spot in the 2025 Australian Open main draw as a direct entrant. L. Neumayer's season turned out to also end here, where his 2025 Australian Open qualification berth was pretty much confirmed with this run. Way to end this season with a bang!

Paris flea market & Montemare - Saturday 24th August 2024

The following day, we headed the big flea market to look for my toast rack and egg holder. Surprisingly, most of the stalls were closed and relatively quiet. We were able to find out why that was the case. Online said this area would be packed but it wasn't the case. Nevertheless, it was nice to walk around and look at the antiques. I managed to score a cute little bow brooch. Brooches are like an extinct animal they are quite hard to find so I was overjoyed when I found one that I liked. Unfortunately, I could not find my toast rack and egg holder. The search continues....

Our next stop was to visit the area Montemare where Sacre coeur was located. That place was very busy we had to line up to get into Sacre Coeur. It was located up on a hill and you get a good view of the Effiel tower.

We also did some shopping that day, stopped by Chanel and Goyard.

We finished the day dinner at Brassie Rosie.

Sob o céu das lanternas

Na pequena cidade de Montemare, todos os anos, o festival das lanternas iluminava a praça principal. As pessoas se reuniam para escrever desejos em tiras de papel e amarrá-los em lanternas, que eram lançadas ao céu ao cair da noite. Era o evento mais esperado do ano, mas para Clara, aquela noite era apenas mais uma desculpa para observar à distância o homem que ocupava seus pensamentos há meses.

Lucas era o dono da livraria da esquina, um homem de sorriso fácil e olhar perdido entre livros antigos. Clara, professora na escola da cidade, sempre passava por lá depois do trabalho, mas nunca teve coragem de fazer mais do que um aceno tímido. Eles trocaram poucas palavras: um “boa tarde”, um “obrigado” ou um “esse é um ótimo livro”, mas nada além disso.

Naquela noite, enquanto Clara escrevia seu desejo em um pedaço de papel, sentiu uma presença ao seu lado. Levantou os olhos e lá estava ele, Lucas, com uma lanterna nas mãos e um sorriso hesitante.

— Eu sempre vejo você aqui — ele disse, a voz baixa e rouca. — Mas nunca tive coragem de falar mais do que o básico.

Clara sentiu o rosto aquecer, surpresa pela confissão inesperada.

— E eu sempre passo na sua livraria, mas… nunca sei o que dizer.

Lucas riu, e o som era como música aos ouvidos dela. Ele mostrou a lanterna que segurava.

— Está sem graça desejar algo sozinho. Você se importa de lançar essa comigo?

Sem confiar na própria voz, Clara assentiu. Eles escreveram juntos um único desejo: “Que a coragem de hoje nos guie pelo amanhã.”

Quando a lanterna subiu ao céu, carregando suas palavras, Lucas segurou a mão de Clara com delicadeza, como se ela fosse algo precioso.

— Eu estava esperando o momento certo para isso — ele disse, os olhos fixos nos dela.

— E encontrou? — ela perguntou, quase sem fôlego.

— Acho que sim.

O beijo veio como o céu iluminado por estrelas e lanternas, um momento de conexão perfeita. Ao redor deles, a multidão comemorava, mas para Clara e Lucas, nada além deles mesmos importava.

Naquele instante, sob o céu das lanternas, um novo capítulo começou.

F. Fognini then had a dominant start to the third set, kicking things off with a forehand down-the-line winner to set up his lead before breaking early to 1-0 moments after his forehand winner created his latest break point, strengthening his position with a service game hold to 2-0. Somehow, L. Neumayer's forehand error caused the first seed's double-break lead to 3-0 before he consolidated to 4-0.

Afterward, F. Fognini forced the deuce in the fifth game with a forehand winner, but L. Neumayer put his name on the board with a service game hold to 4-1. An erratic service game from the Austrian 2 games later then generated the Italian's initial match points on return, which were saved (including the latest one with a forehand pass) before the Austrian massively held to 5-2. While this meant F. Fognini should have served for the title, another erroneous service game was culminated with L. Neumayer's forehand winner to break back 5-3, but the latter was unable to follow it up as another service game slip caused the Italian first seed to break for the match 6-3, winning him the title and securing him the Top 100 return.

Travel: Spain, Costa del Sol - Frigiliana.

Late September / early October we spent 10 nights on the Costa del Sol, staying in Benalmadena.

We're no beach lollers or sunbed loungers by any means, so our days were spent out and about visiting Torremolinos, Malaga, Frigiliana and Nerja (a coach excursion - not something we would normally book, but it was an easy way to see 2 places in one day).

We also headed back to Arroyo de la Miel, the main town just above the coastal resort of Benalmadena several times as it was a place we thoroughly enjoyed when we visted from Montemar on our last trip, staying at the Pez Espada hotel on the beachfront there.

And much to our delight, taking the ferry one way from Benalmaden Marina to Fuengirola enabled us to discover what we missed on a previous visit, which had left us a little disappointed.

This time, we found the older streets and the numerous cafe bars and restaurants - much more of interest to us.

Here's a few photos from Frigiliana - taken with Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 mobile on 2 October 2023.
