    Nadal-Gasquet

    Can anyone tell me how gasquet can take a set off nadal?
    Bc otherwise I'm pounding under 3.5 sets with like 20 units @1.4
    Gasquet has no weapons whatsoever to pose a threat against fired up rafa...Imho even smaller than robredo...I can see something like 6:1 6:2 6:0 result.
    Opinions?

    Youzhny took a set off Nadal, same could happen here. Gasquet has a bazooka of a backhand, it could be dangerous.

    What? You mean like 5 years ago? Or if you are referring to Djokovic/Youzhny match, that's a totally different story.
    I don't deny gasquet's BH, but see what damage it has done on nadal in the past. The closest set they played in like 5 years, was 7:5 for nadal.
    I mean, they know each other very well, I can't see any suprises or a pattern different from their past meetings.

    I mean, I am really trying to find the catch here. Imho the only two players he played so far who had a shot at taking a set off him, were dodig and kohl, schreiber did it as the only one, in a breaker with a help of his big serves.
    Nadal hasn't lost a service game this USO!
    The only pity is that they postponed the match from today, cos nadal could profit from gasquet's two five-setters and have the route even easier. Still, this should be a stroll for nadal.

    Saying Gasquet has less of a weapon than Robredo is ridiculous to me, but I agree it seems as though Nadal should have an E-Z time.

    Hence the odds..?

    Well the 1.4 odds imply 71.43 % chance for nadal to win 3-0, I consider his chances to be around 90 %...

    If one of the first timers in the Semis falls to First Timers Syndrome aka deer in the headlights, Gasquet seems to fit the bill much more than Wawrinka.
