[Deleted member 629564]

H2H
Federer 19-2 Gasquet

 

[Nostradamus]

WOW,,,, just WOW. Finally a chance to beat Federer for Gasquet. Never been a better chance to do this. LOL. but problem is Richard also stink currently,,, so Pigeon will comeback for Roger in 2nd round. just like this 1.9 Million dollar Pigeon that chinese bought from begium farm.

 

[Jokervich]

24 straight sets won against Gasquet with a 19-2 H2H, with Gasquet's only wins coming on clay back in 2005 and 2011.

Then again, he was 6-0 against Mannarino and almost lost that one. Federer struggling against his former pigeons is a really bad sign for him.

 

[El_Yotamo]

Tough one to call after Fed's performance today

 

[bigjimbofan]

When was the last time Gasquet won a big match in a major ? Anyone ? He needs to retire. Even a below form Federer beats Richard. But yeah, troubling play from Roger today.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Fed should still win this one comfortably. Then after that he will have to step it up big time.

Tough one to call after Fed's performance today

I won't trust Gaskuet to win against Big 3 even if the umpire has announced the score in favour of Reeshawd and both the parties are coming to the net for the post match handshake.

 

[Krish872007]

Fred in average form and this could go 5 sets
In decent form and he can win in 3 or 4 - I would be quite surprised if this ends up being a routine win

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Federer repeating Nadal's draw from hell at RG. Gasquet and Norrie back to back a real possibility.

Ominous signs.

 

[Mediterranean Might]

I just don't see Gasquet pulling it off. Who is the projected 3rd round match for Fed?

 

[Mark-Touch]

If Gasquet wins I'll eat my headband!

 

[Hamnavoe]

Gasquet 7-5 7-6 6-3.

 

[Wiggedbaldy]

Fed in straight, i picked Fed in 5 against Mannarino yesterday that's how scary gasquet is.

 

[Nostradamus]

If Gasquet wins I'll eat my headband!

is it one of those birthday cake headbands ?

C. Norrie AKA Chuck Norris

 

[El_Yotamo]

I won't trust Gaskuet to win against Big 3 even if the umpire has announced the score in favour of Reeshawd and both the parties are coming to the net for the post match handshake.

I would've said the same about Mannarino before the match today, however he was clearly the better player for two and a bit sets. Or at least, the less poor player...

 

[kishnabe]

Gasquet best chance against this Fed.

Federer needs to raise his game or he loses in 4.

 

[BGod]

Gasquet in 4. Betting $7 on it.

 

[BeatlesFan]

I just don't see Gasquet pulling it off. Who is the projected 3rd round match for Fed?

Projected to be Cam Norrie if the seeds hold.

 

[mightyjeditribble]

I'm not sure about this one. Gasquet has always had a lot of talent, and could give anyone trouble on his day - but his game really matched up badly against Fed, who basically did everything he could do better.

But with current Roger, who knows? I'm hoping Fed comes through in straight sets, but we'll have to wait and see.

 

[Hitman]

Federer repeating Nadal's draw from hell at RG. Gasquet and Norrie back to back a real possibility.

Ominous signs.

A loss to Djokovic?

 

[Hitman]

Federer should win in 4 sets at worse.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

A loss to Djokovic?

It is indeed the Djokovic Open. It's his world, we're just watching tennis in it.

 

[Hitman]

At least everyone can sleep in peace every night.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Federer in 4.

 

[swordtennis]

Federer should win in 4 sets at worse.

Federer is hitting Djokovic like forehands.
Fed in 3.

 

[stringertom]

I guess Gasquet is fully recovered from whatever injury/illness that cause him to retire after splitting sets with Alex Bolt at Nottingham Challenger ten days ago. He had won two rounds prior to that day as a heavy favorite vs Soeda and Clarke. That and today’s match are the extent of his grass play so he’s as undercooked as fedr.

I expect another struggle for fedr but a win is a win…in 4.

 

[Ray Mercer]

Federer is so bad right now that I don’t even know if he can beat Gasquet. That is sad. Any decent version of Fed pummels him.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Gasquet currently is far worse than Mannarino, he can still show his inner talent with great shots here and there and good games here and there, but that's it. If Richard was able one last time to keep a very high level for some time it would be interesting but I think he's definitely done, like Gilles Simon and Jo Tsonga are too

 

[THUNDERVOLLEY]

WOW,,,, just WOW. Finally a chance to beat Federer for Gasquet. Never been a better chance to do this. LOL. but problem is Richard also stink currently,,, so Pigeon will comeback for Roger in 2nd round. just like this 1.9 Million dollar Pigeon that chinese bought from begium farm.

 

[Sephiroth]

If Federer loses to Gasquet he should call it quits

 

[Frenchy-Player]

Gasquet is really motivated after the Swiss beat France at the Euro 2020

 

[Krish0608]

Wouldn't be surprised to see Federer lose here. But I am hoping for a win. I expect Federer to play better than yesterday though.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Fed in 4 sets!

 

[wang07]

Given Fred's form, this match ought to be a decent opportunity for Gasquet to improve his H2H vs. Big3 from 2-5000 to 3-5000

 

[D.Nalby12]

This may be Gasquet' best chance to beat Fed in Slam. Still i believe Fed will find the way.

 

[Breakpointerer]

thoughtest draw continues

 

[Red Rick]

Tbh Gasquet should make this match look much prettier even if the quality is ****

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Should be an interesting match. Fed will improve with more matches. He wasn’t great 1st round but he did up his level in the 4th. I think he should come through this in at least 4 sets. We will see though

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Fed in 4.

 

[Deleted member 771911]

RG to send RF home in 5. Allez!

 

[Thriller]

I wouldn't back Gasquet to be able to fight his way out a of a soggy paper bag. Federer in 5. Gasquet will find a way to choke from an unassailable winning position.

 

[pj80]

Given Fred's form, this match ought to be a decent opportunity for Gasquet to improve his H2H vs. Big3 from 2-5000 to 3-5000

2-18 v Roger
1-13 v Novak
0-17 v Rafa

I can't imagine R. Gasket winning even a set. He could be two breaks up , serving at 4-0 and the next moment, his serve and FH would perform a disappearing act, that too for the rest of the match.

 

[Checkmate]

If Federer's serving rhythm is good, One tiebreaker and two normal sets.

 

[heninfan99]

Gasquet has more talent in is pinkie finger than the elderly non-GOAT. The question is will he want to be mean to his old friend and finish him off.

 

[MeatTornado]

I'm feeling good about this one. But I think Fed's tournament will end next round against Norrie unless he really shows some big improvements today.

 

[Standaa]

I just want a full match this time around

are they playing on center?

 

[jga111]

Easy 3-0 for the Fed.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Gauff better not mess this up and choke to extend this misery to 3 sets.

And yes, they'll be playing on Centre Court once Gauff is through.
