Just hitting drive backhand volleys like they're nothing special
He's playing damn well at the moment. Leads 5-2

I used to like Kohlschreiber's more but now that I am watching this I think Richard's is clearly the bigger weapon, even if his stroke isnt as pretty

Gasquet's liking Tips' flat groundies that don't get up too high.

Tipsarevic is a likeable fellow, but Gasquet is the better tennis player. Think it might go the distance.

One of the best sets I've ever seen RG play.

If you made of list of the best matches featuring a one-handed backhand then Kohlschreiber's match against Roddick at the AO is definitely up there. I agree though that Richard's backhand is better. Even if he loses his backhand never seems to let him down/make for a boring match.

The FH half volley followed by the BH volley were incredible. Tips looks like he's starting to lose it.

That is one of my favorite matches ever. Funny how so many players have great highlight reels against Roddick. He hit over 100 winners in that match. I watched him play last night and he is looking good. Moving extremely well and still showing a pretty all court game. He is probably my 2nd favorite player after Dolgopolov.
Gasquet is making it look like its before 2011 and he is the higher ranked player and Tipsy is hanging around or not even in the top 50. I hope Tipsy can get his first serve % up and start playing more solid. I like both of these guys.

IDK, if Gasquet keeps his level close to where it is now Tipsy doesn't stand a chance.

I hope so. I was kind of joking because the amount of times Gasquet has lost from 2 sets up. Good to see him playing this well though.

Damn, Gasquet is making it look easy. This might be over, Janko looks bad.
So does anyone think Gasquet will take down Ferrer if he advances?

Very true - other guys would be eating breadsticks.
2 sets for RG.
I'm going to flip over Nishikori and Benneteau are playing - 4-3 KN with the break up...

Tipsy needs to keep it cross court for a while to get his rythm. He has netted so many shots aimed dtl.

Time to switch to a different match, this one is over.

Janko is abysmal tho. (not that I'm surprised after he barely scraped over some kid in last round..)

Probably just frustrated that RG is in GOAT-mode.

Gasquet probably played the best match of his career. I've seen him hit his BH well. But his FH, serve and net game were top notch. Hard to gauge how Tips played - Gasquet controlled the play - and wasn't missing. 8 UE in 3 sets is incredible.
