Cincy 1r: Gasquet beats Llodra 3-6 6-1 1-0 ret

next round will be much tougher

What happened?

well done richard

too bad for llodra with his arm
it did seem to be troubling him on serve

good luck in the next round gasquet

gasquet started kicking booty and llodra was asking for some timeouts, dont know if he was really injured or something.

then he got broken in the last set and retired

Llodra retired after a break in the third. He called a physician during the first, problems with his arm.

What happened?

I didn't see much of the match, but apparently Llodra already had to have a medical time-out (apparently, something with his arm that made it difficult for him to serve) in the very early stage of the match - it was obvious that he was injured, and that playing on would have made no sense at all, as he was barely able to continue playing at all.

Congrats Gasquet... and get well soon, Llodra :hug:.

Llodra :hug:

Llodra has some serious issues with his body. Still Gasquest was always going to win this.

then he got broken in the last set and retiredIt's well-known he's been having problem with his arm for months now. He seemed in pain during the whole match. He already asked for a very long medical time-out after the 1st set (which he had won). And then he retired. And you're wondering if he was really injured??

Anyway, I hope for him he will be fit for Beijing because he keeps saying that's one of his main goals of the season. He plays in both singles and doubles.

Hope Llodra is okay and isnt too seriously hurt.

I forgot to put Llodra on my favorite players list (certainly because we don't see him much in single)

But his volleys are just :drool:

Easy enough for Gasquet.

Pub. Gasquet warming.

:sad: Mica :hug:

I hope they can fix his arm. :awww:
