Roland Garros, Paris, France, ATP GRAND SLAM (Paris Sidewalk Cafe Discussions II)

That's good tennis even if I feel that Kyrgios is not 100 %. Gasquet is taking his chance.

Gasquet up 2 sets, this one isn't over though folks. Unfortunately Richie has messed up many 2 set leads before.

True, but how many times has Nick come back from two sets down... I don't have the figures, but guess it's not many.

 

[britbox]

Gasquet breaks... bad misjudgement by Nick on the BP - ball was going out.

 

[DarthFed]

Now it does look like it's over. And Kei is in a 5th set vs. Verdasco. Gasquet vs. either of those should be a solid matchup IMO.

Once against Seppi in 2015 AO and once in Wimbledon 2014 vs... Gasquet

Don't think he will, but I'd like to see Verdasco turn Kei over.

Lol, yep, I think Gasquet had 9 match points or something absurd that match. Even with that the H2H is 4-2 to Dickie before today.

rafa has withdrawn from French open. shock news, wrist problems I think.

Bad news.... he was really coming back well hope it won't last two long

 

[DarthFed]

Gasquet up a double break at 5-2. Very disappointing performance from my Greek Aussie. I do think he may make some noise during grass season though.

And Nishi up a break in the 5th serving 3-2

Rafa has withdrawn of RG, this is the worst news I've heard for long time. He says that he got some injections in his wrist but he can't even to hold the racket . He is carrying this issue since Miami where he was wearing already a bandage

 

[britbox]

Nish serving to stay in the match.

 

[DarthFed]

^ To win the match right? It's 5-4 15-15

Oops sorry.. to win the match.

 

[britbox]

2 match points

 

[britbox]

... and Nish takes it.

 

[DarthFed]

Nish - Gasquet in the 4th round. I looked up the H2H and it is surprisingly 6-2 Gasquet but Kei has taken the last 2, both this season and both on clay and in straights.

Just saw this on the RG website. I'm so disappointed for him.

I feel sad, very sad. I knew that he had some issues with his wrist but I never thought it was so bad. My question is how bad is that injury
