What a beaut

 

[ibbi]

OMG THAT FOREHAND

 

[junior74]

Incredible stuff from Gasquet in these tiebreaks! Super clutch and fights like a lion!!!



Very fun to watch him playing like this!

 

[ojo rojo]

Reeshard is on fire

 

[Carax]

Richard, you beauty.

 

[ibbi]

You look at the stats for this match and you'd never guess it was being played on clay. Gasquet currently at 29-18 winners to unforced errors.

 

[Winners or Errors]

One more set. C’mon Gasquet!!!

entire family is in gasquet box plus french crowd totally, he cant lose this match..too bad for pretty coric though

If anyone can lose from this position, Gasquet can. He has plenty of experience doing so too. Hopefully Coric will give up and go away. He'll still be pretty, that's plenty of consolation.

Glad to see Kei back on court, although some clay warm up events would have been ideal. I'm not sure why he didn't play between Miami and RG.

Edit: and just like that Nishikori breaks for 4-5 in the first set. Would absolutely love for this match to at least be competitive for Kei.

Beside the arm strapping he's in very good shape physically so it's odd seeing Gasquet run rings round him.

 

[Hitman]

That Gasquet backhand is just a beautiful beautiful thing it is a pleasure to behold every time he hits it.

It is.

Mr. Glass serving for the first set.

 

[Nostradamus]

Record and save this match right now. this will be known as the GREAASTED match in history of tennis. will sell more DVD than the federer vs nadal match

 

[Rosstour]

A little surprised Rudd is not receiving more consideration in the poll so far. He could very well win it this year.

If he finds himself in a Final opposite anyone besides Carlos, Sinner, Djok-or-'Dal....that trophy is his

 

[Nostradamus]

pure greatness of Nishikori. wins the 1st set

 

[ojo rojo]

According to commentators, Coric has NEVER come back from a 2 set deficit in his entire career.
I fear this match will go the distance

 

[ojo rojo]

Well, well. Ritchie breaks back.
He's having a blast

 

[guga_fan]

Just a joy to watch Gasquet playing like this. There are some shots that only he can do with that backhand.

 

[ibbi]

Richie Gasquet puts the WILD in wild card!

 

[Rattie]

Fabulous win for Gasquet! And the French crowd go absolutely bonkers. Nice to see

 

[junior74]

WHAT a match point! Crazy good!

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

RICHAAAAAAAAAAAARD

On a sublime BH winner !!!!!!!!!

ALLEEEEEZ MON RICHIE

 

[Carax]

What a way to finish it! Amazing BH by Richard!!

 

[ojo rojo]

Merveilleux!

 

[Keystoner]

Poor Nadal. He's at the point in his career where TTW lumps him in with "Other Players" in the poll.

 

[ojo rojo]

Reeshard to take out Sinner in round 2

 

[Rattie]

Poor Nadal. He's at the point in his career where TTW lumps him in with "Other Players" in the poll.

No …only some members

 

[ojo rojo]

I can't go straight from watching one of the most likeable French players to a Corentin Moutet match. It's like eating a mouthful of salt directly after a delicious Éclair

 

[Arak]

Reeshard to take out Sinner in round 2

Nah, he will wake up tomorrow with all kinds of body and joint aches.

 

[I Am Finnish]

No nadal in the poll?

 

[Arak]

No nadal in the poll?

Nadal aka others.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Nadal aka others.

lol

 

[Bill Lobsalot]

Moutet and Jarry underway. Do French fans actually like Moutet? He's a nut.

 

[ojo rojo]

Moutet and Jarry underway. Do even his parents actually like Moutet? He's a nut.

FTFY

 

[Winners or Errors]

Nah, he will wake up tomorrow with all kinds of body and joint aches.

Yes, but he won't have to play tomorrow.

 

[Arak]

Yes, but he won't have to play tomorrow.

I will be rooting for him but I think he gave it all in today’s match.

 

[veelium]

Moutet and Jarry underway. Do French fans actually like Moutet? He's a nut.

Na, but still french enough.

 

[Winners or Errors]

Aargh, Sebi finding a way to lose - hopefully, I'm wrong. They are, after all, on serve in the 2nd and he won the first easily.

 

[Bill Lobsalot]

Moutet/Jarry could be a five hour match.

 

[Rosstour]

Just a joy to watch Gasquet playing like this. There are some shots that only he can do with that backhand.

Musetti can do them now.

I've just been on Gasquet's Instagram after his win. I realised even though he's been around for so long I really don't know too much about him and he appears to be a bachelor - few pictures with family/friends just seems very tennis focussed yet for large swathes of the past decade he's been pretty irrelevant tennis wise. His last major QF was 2016 at RG and he's had many a different coach during his playing career. Wikipedia also doesn't have much information on him in the personal life section - siblings? Parents names/vocations? Seems odd as most top players have that information out there.

He has a wife and son according to the internet

 

[Bill Lobsalot]

Moutet takes the first. His head has not exploded,.........yet.

 

[Kralingen]

Tabilol should retire.

 

[mightyjeditribble]

Come on Gasquet! Two sets to love up is within reach now

Gasquet beat Coric! Always nice to see Reeshard winning. A bit of a tough match might be coming up next ...
