[GameSetAndMath]

Gasquet is the only Frenchi left in Singles draw (even counting WTA). After today, we will have frecnhi free RG.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

So, the three match-ups involving unseeded players and the match involving Isner are on Suzanne. No one can complain about today's scheduling. Their job is made very easy. :laydownlaughing

 

[mouse]

Ramos has taken the first set 6-2

 

[Mile]

Àlex Corretja said Raonic is the one who will win. ?! Strange statement...

 

[mouse]

Have we got a mini shock on our hands? Ramos 2-0

I was tempted to back him @ 7/2

[GameSetAndMath]

Where are all the Milos Fans? He got the easiest draw and still could not make it to QF :lolz:

 

[Front242]

They'll blame it on his hip. All any decent player needs to do to beat Raonic is make him run and eventually he'll lose and say a body part was ailing him. Now maybe it was, but it's still the way to beat him. Made of glass like a big version of Nishikori. That match was a godawful push fest too. Ramos didn't even need to hit fast angled balls to move Raonic around. He was merely pushing the ball over the net like Monfils but it was all he needed to do. Make the big guy run.

Isner and Murray are into their first tie break.

Stan is looking good! He definitely could make a run to the finals here.

:snicker Did you reach into my brain to write all that down?? I could not agree more.

 

[nehmeth]

Put a fork in plodder J.Isner. Murray's up two sets and will likely win the third rather handily.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Nishi looks to be falling apart after that rain delay.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Gasquet backhand=Price of admission

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

His backhand is a work of art. It is a shame he wasn't able to be one of the guys to score a slam win.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Gasquet is just one of those weird players who shows up at random moments and goes on tears. He has navigated a potentially tricky draw to make it this far. When his game is on, it is beautiful to watch.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Unfortunately, I don't think Gasquet will hold up against Andy. Actually, Kei would be able to give better fight to Andy than Gasquet. Now, I think it is almost sure that Andy will reach SF.

Rishar Gasgay is en fuego...
