Re: Official Gasquet's 2011 Schedule

Gasquet is on the Chennai Entry List, he was supposed to be playing Brisbane but it looks like he has changed his mind.

Re: Official Gasquet's 2011 Schedule

AH! 195th thread about gasquet, another proof that he is the most important frenchman. Yeah Chennai looks like a good choice, Brisbane is packed tight with top 10-20 players and Richard would not be seeded. Chennai gives him a good chance to have a easier draw.

He would've been seeded 6.

He's lucky I'm going to AO from the first day, or I'd be very unhappy with him changing tournaments :lol:

Re: Official Gasquet's 2011 Schedule

I made some maths to see if Ritchie will be seeded for AO 2011. Luckily, there are very few chances he would not be seeded, in fact this is the only death combination:

  1. Troicki wins a match at Davis Cup, he gets +40 and take 29th spot (very much possible)
  2. Lopez finish runner-up at Brisbane. Draw is really tough and he is only 6 seeds.
  3. and the best for the end.. Kohlschreiber must beat GGL in Doha's final, this knowing that they are seeds 7 and 8, and so will play seeds 1 and 2 in quarterfinal, which are Nadal and Federer. :rolleyes:
(so far Bellucci is not on any entry list for the first week of 2011)

Gasquet is on the Zagreb Entry List.

I guess Richie will be playing the European tournaments after the Australain Open.

Re: Official Gasquet's 2011 Schedule: Chennai (03-01-2011)

he has one week off, the second week of AO. So it's not an overwhelming schedule really.

Who said Richie is going out beofore the 4th round. :p

Re: Official Gasquet's 2011 Schedule: Chennai (03-01-2011)

I guess he can always revise his schedule if he makes it deep in any of these tournies. it's no biggie. Theres really no point him playing every week as he will have to follow a top 30 schedule so be limited about how many 250s he can count.

Re: Official Gasquet's 2011 Schedule: Chennai (03-01-2011)

I suspect he will withdraw from some of these as he's playing a TOp 30 schedule now and the 250s are not much value to him. I just hope he has a great start to the year and doesn't wear himself out in the beginning of the year.

Some of this might change - Just saw that first round of Davis cup against Austria is on CLAY. As much as it might pain Forget to select Richard, ATM he is cetainly the second best clay court player available (Tsonga and Simon are pretty useless on clay - but wait there's Llodra :rolleyes: ). So maybe at least one South American clay tourney in Feburary?

:topic: It is really revealing to read the comments on the French eurosport site. Many talk already about the seminfinals against Spain, the team is also selected: JWT will be back, Gael and Richard can do well on clay and Llodra/Benneteau is a great doubles. Well, that is one guy too many.;)

Only one poster points out that Melzer is nr 8 in doubles, Marach 11, while the best Frenchman is 29. :p

I did not become a patriot in sport overnight, but if the responsible guys in France share the same condescendence, they might be up for a huge negative suprise. For the Austrians, Jürgen is of course the key to everything, he announced already that he will cancel Dubai to prepare for DC.

How sweet is Richard playing Zagreb? :yippee:

Re: Official Gasquet's 2011 Schedule: Chennai (03-01-2011)

and Melzer made the semis at Roland, while Tsonga finished pathetically on a stretcher, and Monfils was "brilliantly" eliminated on 2nd round by Fognini. Gasquet dind't pass the 1st round (ok it was Murray) and so Llodra and so the rest of the "dream team".
On clay the chances are equal, really. Melzer could very well wins both rubbers and if they win the double with Marach, bye bye France :)

Re: Official Gasquet's 2011 Schedule: Chennai (03-01-2011)

If Gasquet is to be chosen as the 2nd player behind Monfils for the Davis Cup tie v Austria, there is some talk maybe they could play Acapulco- ATP 500 which is just before the tie to prepare on the clay. I can't see Richie doing that as he will be playing in Europe and then going to Acapulco (South America) then going back to Europe (Austria) and straight away going to the States for the 2 Masters 1000 in Indian Wells & Miami.

That will be too much travelling in a small amount of time.

Maybe the best thing could be play his European tournaments (Zagreb, Rotterdam & Marseille) and maybe miss out Dubai or Acapulco to prepare for the tie in maybe France. On the other hand maybe Richie could adapt straight away from the Hard to Clay but then coming into the Davis Cup tie, he would of played quite alot and could be tierd.

Your thoughts?

Last year he came back from South America to be the fifth guy and then returned to the US. So he could certainly do that in 2011 again, if he will be selected to play. On the other hand, I am not sure if an outdoor tourney in South America is the proper preparation. It might be better to prepare on indoor clay in Europa....
