poor Gasquet! he is facing quite the odds.

Seems to be the fate of whoever is in that 8th spot isn't it?

Yeah, its a bit ironic that they try so hard to be part of something that will eventually give them three nosebleeds. Like Mardy Fish and Janko Tipsarevic. Although Gasquet seems to be a bit above that category of players.

And at least he is there, he can give it a try. Have there been any no 7 or 8 seeds to win the event?

And Gasquet cannot serve it out. 5 - 4 first set.

Gasquets only win against Djokovic was at the WTF in 2007 by the way, but Novak lost all his matches in 2007.

RE: Barclays ATP World Tour Finals - Nov. 4-11

DP wins the breaker and then a 2nd set going away

 

[Denis]

RE: Barclays ATP World Tour Finals - Nov. 4-11
