Command Analysis
Richard Gasquet
FranceGasquet earned two very difficult victories at the start of the Winston-Salem tournament. This doesn't speak well of the Frenchman's form: both of his opponents have been in poor shape for a while. In the second round, Gasquet defeated Egor Gerasimov in two tie-breaks, and in the Round of 16, he eliminated Daniel Evans (6-4, 7-6). We are not convinced that Gasquet will be able to do well against stronger opponents.
