Would gasquet given nadal a run for his money instead of murray?

Question

I feel gasquet the way he was playing for the 3 sets before he choked was very impressive he was whipping forehand/backhand/volleys/serving winners was exceptional like nadal today without the choking at the last minute. I think gasquet in my opinion if he gets mentally better he is thereabouts tennis ability wise at the same level as djokovic and a level ahead of murray.

Answer 1

Gasquet is a far better player than murray.He would have lost in 3 or 4 sets also but would have attacked and shown aggression so that he would be admirable in defeat.Gasquet has no arrogence whatsoever a graet player and a decent guy.Murray..rot in scotland

Answer 2

oh yeah i think gasquet has more game then murray.. even though he lost to him.. and he is definently better on his feet.. and will match up to nadals running around.. stay with him more..

i like gasquet

Answer 3

Yes, I believe so. Gasquet should have won that match. He needs a stronger serve. He double faulted when he was coming back from 30-40 serving for the match. You never know what could have happened if he didn't double fault though! Anyway, Gasquet would still obviously lose but he has to work harder.

Answer 4

nah not even Federer

Answer 5

No way no one can touch Nadal or Federer except each other lol

Nadal is way too strong and powerful for Gasquet :-)

Only Djokovic would even have a chance against Nadal and Federer (when he is on form lol) but he's out so everythings set up for a Nadal/Federer final :D

Nadal to win!!!!!! xx

Answer 6

i doubt it

Answer 7

Yeah I think I actually was there watching (:, Murray was actually quite lucky, I felt sorry for gasquet because they began too boo him, which he lost his nerve to he is an amazing player.

I wish he won Murray, hes immature & fugly

Answer 8

yes, even though the result would be the same.

gasquet will give nadal a closer game than murray could.

i am kinda surprised gasquet didn't finish murray with a 2 set to love lead and let it slip away.

Answer 9

He wouldn't have done any better than Murray did today because exactly the same situation with Murray/Nadal happened to Gasquet last year. He had a marathon 5 setter with Roddick in the quarter finals then played Federer in the Semis and got killed! He wouldn't have done any better at all. Nadal is on a different level to both players (at least for now anyway).

Gasguet is very talented but he is very inconsistent and he  chokes when he's in a winning position. It's happened too many times and he plateaus too often.

Edit: Oops I meant Federer. Have changed it. Anyway Gasquet and Nadal have met several times in the past and Gasquet lost on each occasion (6–7, 6–4, 6–3 at Monte Carlo in the semis in 2005 and 3–6, 6–3, 6–4 during the Tennis Masters Cup round robin stages in 2007)

Answer 10

the first answer is wrong, gasquet faced Federer in the semis and lost to him easily. Im not sure whether he has faced Nadal, maybe he would have put up a slight challenge but still lose in the end.

Answer 11

that would have been an interesting match. maybe next year?

i must confess. i am so anti murray i must come across as biased.  well ok call me biased.
