Gasquet was fuming:evil:

Gasquet needs to do some cardio. Seriously, he gets burned out halfway through the match so often.

Murray can turn it off when he wants to as well. :lol:

Hard liquor, chips, and Gasquet. Life doesn't get much better than this!

Did you watch the final vs. Davydenko in Doha? He was playing defensive tennis most of the match and just running for everything. I thought he would be out of it physically, but he actually used his fitness to win that match.
jinxed it, oops

Gasquet getting fired up helped.

Gasquet takes the gift from murray, thank you very much
That's not fuming. That's a French person adamant to make a point about anything!

TWers have criticized Gasquet's forehand in the past. Is it that bad. It looks okay. Not incredible, but okay. there's that little hitch, and doesn't seem like he can hit it flat that much
When he is on, he can fire from all cylinder.
if not, it's usually his forehand that spray UEs all over the place.

Nah, I didn't see it. I might have been talking complete crap to be honest. I remember Gasquet being completely wrecked halfway through his 2010 RG final and assumed his fitness is still that poor.
In that game where he got broken, Gasquet looked really tired though. He couldn't even bend his knees properly to hit his backhand. He probably needed a little breather. He is playing fine tennis now.
Ive spoken french fluently since age 7 and could barely decipher what gasquet was saying. dude's pretty mad. (for not much reason)
the anger might've helped since he broke back and is now up 6-5

Does anyone remember Murray saying in 2011 after his match against Djokovic at Rome, in his post-match interview, that he usually never has trouble serving out sets/matches? Look at him these days failing to serve out the match vs Cilic in his last match and now failing to serve out the set here. And how about all those matches last year when he lost having held MPs?

Well Gasquet's fitness has always been suspect. But supposedly he stayed in Florida with Grosjean during the off season, seems to have payed off from what I can tell.

I think we will hear another negative opinion about the time policy after this match.

I think that's because Gasquet was speaking English? At least I heard him say "YOU HEAR ME?"

Anyone else think this is a must win set for Gasquet?
yes you're correct. it was the accent which made whatever he was trying to say impossible to understand.

Wild from Murray!

That... was the sickest half-volley I've EVER seen.

Wow I always thought Gasquet was overrated (well I did watch his win over Federer back in 2005 but I have little memory of it now), but today he proved me wrong (so far), really good shots and consistent from the BH and great shot variety!

Very impressive from Gasquet.
I'm perfectly willing to take a month long ban from this forum for harshly criticizing Gasquet's fitness after he got broken at 4-4.

To your defense fuming Frenchmen are not always the easiest to understand.

Over 20.5 games at 3/4 was easy money:twisted:
