Paris 2nd round-Tsonga and Gasquet

[anointedone]

The 2 talented young French players Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Richard Gasquet now face off in the 2nd round of Paris. This is their 3rd meeting in the last 4 months. Gasquet defeated Tsonga in the round of 16 at Wimbledon in straights, but Tsonga then defeated Gasquet in the round of 16 of Lyon last week, severely damaging his Masters Cup hopes. I am going to give the slight nod to Tsonga in this one.

Gasquet didn't play very well since Tokyo. But I'm going out on a limb and say Gasquet in 3 sets.

Paris is much slower then Lyon and Tsonga will have his hands full.

I pick Richard.

I like Gasquet in 2 sets, yes straight sets.

I like Gasquet in 2 sets, yes straight sets.

yes, i'll go with richard too... tsonga lost to grosjean at lyon but defeated him at bercy, so for gasquet, it will be the reverse, that's logical !

It's hard to predict a match between two talented but somewhat unpredictable players...

Gasquet serving for the first set after the first break of the match at 5-5, now 6-5 Gasquet.
