very even steven in the h2h, but I feel Richard is more on the come up right now. So Richard it is!

 

[heninfan99]

HA! Nice colors.

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

HA! Nice colors.

Just realized it could be Czech republic as well
Gasquet in 3 hopefully.

 

[heninfan99]

Hoping gasquet returns aggressively which he has done against Birdman in the past.

 

[Meles]

Thunderberd(ych) a bit shakey when the going get's tough and Reechard is tough enough.

 

[Aceldama]

My heart wants Gasquet so I picked him in 3 but I think it's a toss up between these two.

 

[heninfan99]

miami humidity is only 64% today ATM

 

[heninfan99]

aggressive return position from gasquet nice

 

[heninfan99]

now he retreated lol

 

[Aceldama]

Berdy's serve is looking good early.

 

[heninfan99]

nice net work from ritchie

 

[tennis_pro]

Gasquet in 3

 

[heninfan99]

berdych has perfect strokes, so compact

 

[Aceldama]

Seems like reeeshard is opting to retreat on second serves in order to give the ball time to drop into his strike zone.

Damn, I missed voting by 2 minutes. Boooooooo!!!

 

[Aceldama]

Double break opportunity for Berdy. He's looking very solid on both wings.

 

[heninfan99]

gasquet is def getting a bit more depth on his forehand this season

 

[Aceldama]

Nasty first serve kicker from Reeshard.

 

[heninfan99]

ill timed double

 

[heninfan99]

NICE HOLD!

 

[Aceldama]

Reeshard is looking good with his 2 and 3 shot combinations off of the wide serve. I hope he keeps going to it.

 

[Meles]

Reechard breaks!

 

[Phonco]

Going to go with Gasquet on this one. H2H always bounces around with one never winning more than two in a row against the other.

Gasquet breaks for 3-2

It's both embarrassing and mind boggling that Berdych continues to struggle against Richard Gasquet.

 

[Aceldama]

This is why I love watching Gasquet so much... dat backhand.

why? Top 10 players clash you will lose sometimes

Not really. Gasquet sort of "default" style of grinding out points matches up against Berdych who seems to want to pull the trigger off of Gasquets loopy shots. Usually ends with an error on Berdychs end. Then, to top it off, Gasquet also has offensive abilities so Berdych has to struggle to find the right balance of safety and aggression.

 

[heninfan99]

nice serving from tomas again

 

[heninfan99]

this set of ESPN3 announcers are boring

 

[Aceldama]

this set of ESPN3 announcers are boring

Aye, these guys suck. I just switched to the stream without announcers because they are annoying me with their inane banter.

 

[Meles]

Gasquet DF's the break back. Ugh.

 

[heninfan99]

da double

 

[heninfan99]

some nice returns from reeshard

 

[junior74]

I want Pretty Bird through, as I consider him a bigger challenge for ND.

 

[heninfan99]

monstrous hitting from tomoas

 

[Phonco]

Wow. Berdych is finding the range and smacking bombs.

 

[SoBad]

Talented French youngster in trouble now.
