Apparently I lack the humour to find out what is funny about practising with Novak. I simply think it is a good idea to practise with the best players.

I'm not getting it either.

richard 7/0 in tie break!

[Vlad1980]

Richard went up early break 3-1, then at 4-2 had another breakpoint but Monfils served it out. Richard was playing really relaxed, but got careless and got broken, but it seemed was still in control. Destroyed Monfils in tiebreak 7-0.

Richard is hitting forehand pretty hard, but misses at times. Backhand is absolutely deadly. Hardest shot on the court today. Overall, he is playing inside the court, completely different tennis from hardcourts or clay.

Thanks for the comments, keep them coming. Too bad, I miss this.

[Vlad1980]

Richard had 15-30 on Gael's serve but missed chance. 1-1
Holds at 0 for 2-1 lead after some nice groundies and serving.

[Vlad1980]

RIchard played really loose game and is broken at 15... too many mistakes, easy volley miss, couple forehands and a double fault. Kinda lost his focus.

[Vlad1980]

Gael holds for 4-2 after couple dueces. Richard tried to break that game, but Gael came up with good serves when needed.
Richard holds for 3-4. Overall it still seems the match is more on Richard's racquet if he plays serious.

[Vlad1980]

Monfils holds for 5-3, after saving 2 breakpoint at 15-40.. good serving again when needed.

[Vlad1980]

Richard holds 4-5.
