@dav1986 he “could” beat you? Who do you think you are ! This guy is a Top 10 player (was #7 in 2007, will be back in the Top 10 after Wimbledon 2011). He has the best backhand out there, even Federer is saying so. Value the opinion of the greatest player of all time : Federer admitted his favourite player to watch was Gasquet. The guy is a tennis Genius with, sadly, a lack of focus in long matches.
You’re really pretentious
@cmr1020 lol! i totally agree with you! i love his backhand, but i have always thought that his greatest crime was to be so gifted at said stroke only to be so naturally un-athletic. A non-athlete, athlete…poor guy.
Yes he could beat me, but my goodness is Gasquet’s forehand ugly! It pains me to watch him hit it. His movement isn’t the best either. It looks as if he has huge blisters on the bottom of his feet and he tries not to do further damage. Just my opinion.
@nstiver I’m not calling it a bad forehand, in fact del potro’s arm goes into a strange limp whenever he sets up for a forehand, and he has one of the best on tour. So how you look doesn’t at all matter.
And, to respond to your question, yes, my forehand (and serve) looks less goofy than Gasquet’s 🙂
@Zailis i agree about the fh, but seriously? his backhand is a fuckin whip. hands down its one of the best backhands in the top 50. watch some of his matches and you’ll get what i mean

@gg2000gg2000 if his FH, and BH are so crap, how did he make it in the top 20 on ATP tour.
By tvtotalforever, July 23, 2010 @ 5:20 pm
@hillsong1004 might be, but i mean, the difference is so small, that you can just leave it out, dont you?
By smithcm14, July 23, 2010 @ 6:08 pm
it’s so goofy that he extends his the back of his hand when uses his forehand.
By wingra10, July 23, 2010 @ 6:53 pm
one of the best backhands and the ugliest forehand in tennis
By EMMASANMARTIN, July 23, 2010 @ 7:53 pm

By OreoEater100, July 23, 2010 @ 9:14 pm

By travisdt, July 23, 2010 @ 9:52 pm

By TheAzt3ca, July 23, 2010 @ 10:18 pm
Interesting grip and swing, you think he would be a little more western style…
By cherdaddy, July 23, 2010 @ 10:58 pm
@gg2000gg2000 dont be saying that when he can probably have a golden match against you
By gg2000gg2000, July 23, 2010 @ 11:31 pm
wow this dude has a big fat ass
his forehand is shit and his backhand is way overrated
By Thecookization, July 23, 2010 @ 11:43 pm
Damn his serve looks so gay!
By 1hbackhand, July 24, 2010 @ 12:27 am

By hazzatoyboy, July 24, 2010 @ 12:34 am
