Gasquet certainly deserves praise. He got past the more mobile Sousa and McDonald in the standings. However, we believe that Van de Zandschulp will be much more difficult for him.
The only head-to-head encounter between Gasquet and Van de Zandschulp was a long one. We believe that the upcoming match will be a long one as well.
Gasquet won more than one match at Wimbledon for the first time since 2016. In doing so, Richard reminded us that it is too early to write him off. He is still a serious contender.
Richard had a tough match against Joao Sousa (7-6, 6-2, 4-6, 4-6, 6-3) in the first round. The former world #7 only beat Sousa in the fifth set, despite leading 2-0.
In the next match, Gasquet defeated Mackenzie McDonald (6-3, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3). This time four sets were enough for him. Of course, this result can hardly be called a sensation, but McDonald certainly did not expect his opponent to play so strongly.
Remarkably, Richard had not played a single match on grass before Wimbledon.
Gasquet reached the semi-finals at Wimbledon twice, in 2007 and 2015.
Gasquet has lost seven of his last ten meetings with seeded opponents.
Van de Zandschulp, meanwhile, reached the third round of Wimbledon for the first time in his career.
He failed in June in Hertogenbosch and Mallorca but reached the semi-finals in London. He beat Grigor Dimitrov (7-6, 6-3) and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina (6-2, 6-4) at the Queen’s Club.
At Wimbledon, Botic started off with a convincing win over Feliciano Lopez (6-2, 6-3, 6-3), before beating Emil Ruusuvuori (3-6, 6-1, 6-4, 6-4).
Botic has three wins in his last five matches against lower-ranked opponents.
In 4 of Botic’s last 7 matches, more than 9.5 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Over 9.5” with the odds of 1.60.
