This year, Tomic has managed to mostly stay away from the sort of unwanted headlines that have dogged him in the past, and has climbed to 123 from 243 in the world rankings since May.


Defeat denied world number 13 Fognini the chance to become the first Italian man to win four singles titles in the same season, after his victories in Sao Paulo, Bastad and Los Cabos.


He started poorly against Tomic but settled into his stride in the second set, levelling the match at one set apiece to set the stage for a thrilling finale.


Both players exchanged breaks of serve at the start of the final set, before Tomic broke again to open up a 3-1 lead.


Fognini rallied to level at 3-3 and the match went to the tiebreak where the Italian carved out an early advantage, racing into a 5-2 lead before suffering a startling reversal.
