He lost , but what a backhand.

The shots he can make with that backhand is just amazing. I wish Federer could master Gasquets down the line. And inside outs etc etc.

Anyways just amazing to see such a nice single handed backhand doing the damage.

It's rare these days.

If only he could hit a good backhand when he's up in the match. 5-3 serving for match lost it , tie break 2-0 made 2 doubles faults at 2-1 and never won a point again in the match.

True but all credit to M. He his an amazing forehand winner and a great lob where Richard did nothing wrong.

But I didn't really wanna talk what he should do better. But more drewl over his backhand :-)

Stanislaw Wawrinka, Richard Gaquet, Philipp Kohlschreiber and maybe Michael Youzhny are the best at that right now.

Yeah, actually we have that one in Ts3 a bit. Backhand D though no one uses it.

I think Mikhail Youzhny has a great backhand too!! Richards is probably the best on tour (for a while). Federer had a nice one, but I don't know what happened. :cry:

amazing backhand from gasquet but it seems he did need more weapons to beat the cypriot storm!

Gooo Marcos!

Watching the Gasquet/Baghdatis match, one thing really popped out at me with regards to Gasquet...his FH sucks!! He has quite possibly the fruitiest looking FH I've ever seen on a pro, and he really can't seem to do that much with it. He's gonna stay right where he is until his FH gets better.

His forehand is worst off than Murray's Jay?

by **jayl0ve** » Sun, 17 Jan 2010 15:06

Nah, it's a little better than Murray's. It's still bad, though. He just kind of 'slaps' at the ball and hits loopy little farts off his FH side.

LOL. That is a funny description of the forehand, but I'll take it. :lol:

Fans of the single handed backhand are in for a treat AO Round 1, Gasquet faces Youzny.

Ready to have fun, i don´t use it in real life though

i find it good if you like hitting winers but not if you are a baseliner and want to keep long rallies (my crazy thoughts i guess)

That is what I am talking about. I mentioned these two guys before knowing the draw. Wow. I think Gasquet can pull of the win, but Youzny has a nice backhand and forehand.

:wink:
