Gasquet free money to win against Gulbis?

I disagree that it is free money.

[ChasingInle]

Translation please?

I disagree that this isn't the dumbest post of the day.

Not free money but I expect Gasquet to win quite comfortable although theres always that small chance of him losing so not free money.

Should be a similar scoreline as that Dodig game. In my opinion, Gulbis and Dodig are kinda similar except Gulbis is better than Dodig at winning rallies.

i think gulbis will win, he's serving at such a high level right now - just look at the first serve % and first serve win% from both respective matches. Both of them played good opponents, but if Gulbis serves above 60%, it should be his to win.

Gulbis and Dodig may be somewhat similar in style but Gulbis is significantly more talented, and while you may think the score line would be similar, know that one of the more under-reported and underrated statistics out there in general, but specifically from the dodig and gasquet match, is that dodig earned a break chance(s) in the same number of service games as gasquet did. only difference is gasquet converted three of those chances whereas dodig only did one. matches with similar number of break chances (in terms of games with break points, not total break points)...I tend to think the margin for a result one way or the other is so small that this match easily could have ended up in three sets or even dodig winning. and I say this as a guy who took gasquet ML and gasquet -1.5 sets (and I feel fortunate for having hit the second.)

Long post short...that gasquet-dodig match was closer than you think, and if gulbis is an improved dodig AND gulbis is serving red hot right now...I'll take the 2.40

[pokerwhiz90]

also gulbis is a lot fresher and in form than dodig was, and those their serves don't really compare - only thing is if gulbis' fh breaks down - its going to be a long night for him

[samus82]

Gulbis is a much stronger player than Dodig, his forehand is very powerful and he has the intelligence to pick winners out far more effectively than Dodig.

Gasquet likes to play at the baseline, but Gulbis will pick him off if he tries to attack the net. I imagine Gasquet's tactic (as many other's have adopted against Gulbis) will be to keep the points long and wait for Gulbis to go for difficult winners. If Gulbis brings his A-game, Gasquet won't have an answer for the Gulbis forehand.

Gasquet is playing well and his backhand will always win him points, but I am with Pokerwhiz, as long as Gulbis can keep his first serve % high, this is his match to take.

You shouldn't have told him the truth and helped him out. People like this deserve to lose everything they own on a Frenchman in France.

[tipsadontlikehim]

Gasquet was an easy pick
His ranking is better than Gulbis's
