This Is Pretty Much The Saddest Game Of Tennis Ever Played By A Pro

Congratulations, Fabio Fognini! You might be ranked 16th in the world, but this was quite possibly the most amazing thing any player's ever accomplished.

The video picks up with Fognini double-faulting. Then he double-faults again to fall to 0-30, and is so incensed, he launches the ball into the yonder. That earns him a code violation, his second of the match, so the penalty is a point. It's 0-40.

Fognini argues, apparently unaware that this was his second, but eventually serves on match point for Radek Stepanek. He steps on the service line for a foot fault. Then, just ready to get the hell out of Cincinnati, he purposely does it one last time. Stepanek took the game without having to touch the ball.
