Vintage Gasquet to choke the TB away?

 

[jaggy]

He takes it (Gasckett that is)

 

[mellowyellow]

Gasquet fortunate to be playing a fatigued Pospisil.

 

[norbac]

Gasquet fortunate to be playing a fatigued Pospisil.

Why? Cause he played like 30 minutes this early afternoon instead of going for a 30 minute warm-up hit?

 

[jaggy]

Popz gets the first break, up 2-0 in the 2nd

 

[Sid_Vicious]

I wish Gasquet had developed the confidence to swing across his body on forehands. He didn't finish every swing over his head back in 2005 that's for sure.

 

[pound cat]

Same game as v. Giraldo. Pop loses first set to a tiebreak, then wins set 2, ,and hopefuly set 3.

 

[jaggy]

Now in a 3rd set

 

[norbac]

Please win this, Gasquet.....

 

[Algo]

Wrapped up

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

Pospisil breaks back

 

[mellowyellow]

Why? Cause he played like 30 minutes this early afternoon instead of going for a 30 minute warm-up hit?

Ya, and the actual warm up, cooling down then coming back out after warm up.... being young you may not "feel" the affects, but the performance usually tells the story.
