Re: Official Gasquet's 2011 Schedule: Stuttgart (11-07-2011)

Obvious choice, IMO. I think he might just play doubles though. Not good given his lack of chemistry with Mika :unsure:
Unless someone is injured I expect it would be Monfils and Richard for singles (with option to play Tsonga on last day which could be done because of their recpective rankings now, yes??) and Mika/Tsonga for dubs. Tsonga is looking good right now but on clay Richard looked very good.

Richard and Mika didn't work in doubles but I think Tsonga/Mika would actaully be a very good doubles team and would probably click.

I hope Richard gets to play singles - no sudden injury this time AND WINS his match(es)

No more 5th man! :woohoo: If he had selected Simon ahead of Richard (No disrespect to Simon) :mad: :mad: :mad:

He should be 2nd choice behind Monfils, Richard had a very good clay court season.

I would put Tsonga and Llodra for the doubles.

http://www.lequipe.fr/Tennis/breves2011/20110628_132944_avec-les-meilleurs-francais.html

« Gasquet a beaucoup mûri »

Evidemment, Forget pense avoir composé «la meilleure équipe possible» : «la saison sur terre battue, et en particulier Roland Garros, a été un élément déterminant pour moi (Gaël Monfils avait atteint les quarts, battu par Federer, ndlr). Et ce que j'ai vu ici à Wimbledon me conforte dans l'idée que je me faisais de cette sélection». Le vainqueur du saladier d'argent 1991 et 1996 en tant que joueur a vanté les nouveaux mérites d'un Richard Gasquet sur lequel il «compte». «C'est peut-être le joueur français qui a le mieux joué sur terre battue. Il a beaucoup mûri et c'est le bon moment de relancer son compteur de victoires en Coupe Davis», s'est-il justifié.

Les différents rôles des quatre titulaires n'ont pour l'instant pas été définis. Forget lui-même laisse planer quelques doutes : «j'ai préféré m'appuyer sur trois joueurs de simple quitte à aligner une équipe de double qui n'a pas beaucoup d'automatismes. On a plusieurs compositions capables de battre l'Allemagne chez elle». A sa demande, Tsonga et Gasquet s'étaient alignés ensemble en double à Monte-Carlo (avril) et Madrid (mai). Le sélectionneur a jusqu'au jeudi 7 juillet, jour du tirage au sort et veille du premier match, pour remanier sa sélection.

If Richard wins one more match on davis cup than Roddick, he comes back in top 10.

Re: Official Gasquet's 2011 Schedule: Stuttgart (11-07-2011)

Go Djoko. Crush Tsonga, he wants to steal top 10 from Richard.

Re: Official Gasquet's 2011 Schedule: Stuttgart (11-07-2011)

Hopefully top 10 soon.... I think he will defiantly reach it during the US Hard court season or even as early as in a couple of weeks. (Depending on results in Davis Cup) With Tsonga doing very well at Wimbledon and another win for him will put him in the top 10 so it's very close between Richard, Roddick, Melzer and Tsonga.
If the other players above him, gain points from the DC, Richard has Stuttgart coming up and looking at the entry list, I think a very good week could be in prospect for him.

With Richard having a Abdominal injury, hopefully this isn't too serious and doesn't force him to miss the DC tie and even Stuttgart because this will just be killer! :mad: :mad:

Wrong, Richard played doubles with Ljubicic in MC.

With Richard having a Abdominal injury...
One would expect Forget to call him and ask about the seriousness before nominating him. At least this is what I would do.

This injury - even if it is not serious - however explains his weak serving from set 2 onwards.

Re: Official Gasquet's 2011 Schedule: Stuttgart (11-07-2011)

what is the info/ source on this abdominal injury ?
I cannot find anything at all about it , anywhere except here
not surprising - the US press does not really spend too much time on Gasquet , well since " the incident"
but hoping it is nothing serious -

I am going to Austin for the US / Spain tie? so - does this mean to help Richard I have to cheer for Verdumbo ?
I am not sure that i can do that :)

You'll have to cheer against Roddick in every match he plays. Dangerous, I know :eek:

Richard will have to help himself too, by winning the matches he's allocated....

Coupe Davis > Départ dimanche pour Stuttgart

On apprend dans L'Equipe du jour que l'équipe de France de Coupe Davis partira dimanche soir pour Stuttgart afin de préparer sur place la rencontre face à l'Allemagne. Richard Gasquet - qui est rétabli de sa douleur aux ados - et Gaël Monfils ont déjà repris sur terre battue. Ils seront rapidement rejoints par Gilles Simon, Michael Llodra et Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

Source: http://www.welovetennis.fr/coupe-davis/37451-depart-dimanche-pour-stuttgart

According to this Richard took up practise already with Gael on clay and they will leave for Germany tomorrow. Tsonga, Llodra and Simon will join them later.

Re: Official Gasquet's 2011 Schedule: Stuttgart (11-07-2011)

I truly believe that Richard will play in singles. TOP10 shot :)

Re: Official Gasquet's 2011 Schedule: Stuttgart (11-07-2011)

He is not so idiot to put Tsonga in singles on clay. I can't believe that.

I have no time to translate, but according to this http://www.rmcsport.fr/editorial/169227/forget-compte-sur-gasquet/ Richard seems to be right before his DC return. RMC is normally a rather well informed source. During Belgrade they wrote one day before the official announcement that Simon would play and they were right.

Thanks, hopefully he plays, I really hope he does.

Re: Official Gasquet's 2011 Schedule: Stuttgart (11-07-2011)

ok i am sort of confused- no one knows for sure if gasquet is playing dc- is that right?

i have been busy lately and havent followed like i should. plus the loss at W didnt help my attention span. lately every player i like has been struggling, i can only assume i am not a jinx in other sports as well.
i have taken to watching baseball again and jaromir jagr made me mad (hockey).

anyway i feel good about stuttgart. he is healthy again isnt he?

Metz-

Metz-
Richard has been selected as one of the 4 Davis CUp team members - appears that his abs "injury" was minor since reports are that he has been practicing with Monfils since about Saturday.

The only question is if he will ACTUALLY play a match. Baring injury I can't imagine that Richard would not be one of the Friday singles players but one never knows.

I wouldn't say that RIchard is struggling - lost to Djokovic in FO and Murray (although could have played better) at Wimbledon. He's not ready to beat these guys but he has been beating very convincingly those he "should" beat - and he did beat #3 Federer so I'd say he's far from struggling.

Is it correct that if U.S. and France both win, U.S. goes to France in September? I really don't like ANYONE on the U.S. Team (except the new coach) but guess I'll have to be patriotic and cheer them on so France can take them out in September.

Re: Official Gasquet's 2011 Schedule: Stuttgart (11-07-2011)

glad I am not the only one
same for this American - and I am going to the tie !
I will cheer for the US to beat Verdasco - that will be easy

but I am really not a fan of any of the American team - other than Roddick when he is not behaving like a jerk -
I cannot stand Fish and find the Bryan Bros and their twin thing just a bit creepy .
They are just too old to wear matching outfits :)

Not even if Richard is playing? :p

Re: Official Gasquet's 2011 Schedule: Stuttgart (11-07-2011)

Not yet official, but according to http://www.rmcsport.fr/editorial/169533/monfils-et-gasquet-en-simple/

Richard will play singles on Friday in Davis Cup against Germany. rmc is a rather reliable source, the draw will take place tomorrow.

I am not crazy about DC either, but I feel it will mean a lot for Richard after being the fifth guy three (!!!!!!!!!!!) times last year.
 
#181 ·
Re: Official Gasquet's 2011 Schedule: Stuttgart (11-07-2011)

Thanks, so it's nearly certain that Richard will play then..... :woohoo:
Hopefully Richard is confirmed tomorrow!! :scared:

Re: Official Gasquet's 2011 Schedule: Stuttgart (11-07-2011)

completely and utterly offtopic but basically I need to send a short email in french and my french is absolutely not up to the task. If anyone could possibly translate for me from english (sorry to be cheeky but I need to be clear in this email) could you PM me. I'd love you forever and it is a one off really short thing.

Thanks

Re: Official Gasquet's 2011 Schedule: Stuttgart (11-07-2011)

If nobody can help you, I can try but my english is not great so the translation could be tricky ( but my french is wonderful obv :) )
