Maybe he’ll start Twittering and I can get to him that way. . .

“The problem is he neither thrives under pressure nor as the underdog. but let’s see.”

HA! Arun that sums it up beautifully.

I think he needs to get out of France, come to America and start working his ass off. This isn’t a dig on France, at all, I just think that he’s grown up in a hothouse atmosphere and needs a break.

I think he needs to get out of France – put his nose to the grindstone and become a gym rat. Maybe he could sign with Adidas and start working with Cahill/Reyes in Vegas. Or hire Brad Gilbert! (Yes, I know that none of this would ever, ever, happen but wouldn’t it be great – just to mix things up?)

“Who knows, maybe he’s just a really late bloomer.”

I hope so too. The problem is he neither thrives under pressure nor as the underdog. but let’s see.

I maybe repeating stuff. but if we works on fitness (like Murray did) will it give him additional confidence and work magic for him like it did for Murray? coz he isn’t short of talent either.

Ha! Yes, she is the new kid on the block. Made it to the semis of IW, and all the tennis writers were like “sh*t” now we have to learn to spell this girl’s name. Still working on it, myself.

I know, Arun! I was so, so psyched about Gasquet a couple years ago and he was one of my top players for so long and in the past year, I’ve just HAD IT. And he better be careful, because tennis is moving on. Being a “Baby Fed” might not be enough. I wonder if he misses all the accolades and is confused that his countrymen Simon, Tsonga and Monfils have taken over the spotlight? I thought having some of the focus off of him might help loosen him up, but so far, not so good!

Who knows, maybe he’s just a really late bloomer. Or maybe he’ll have a “moment” like Verdasco had during the last Davis Cup final. I think that’s what he needs – that “man up” moment.

Holy Bovines, thanks for catching me up, and living, through your writing, the full-on train wreck. Gadzooks!

I’m especially humbled because I don’t recognize 50% of the names on the Ladies’s Side. Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova? Sounds like Pushkin.

Gasquet belongs to the ones among my ‘level 2′ fave players. so sad to see him not stepping up. at all. He has been a tad unfortunate with injuries too.. but still. whatever.

I hope one day we’ll see him winning a GS or AMS.. or is it just asking for too much?
