He had already done at Wimbledon in 2007 and face Roddick in the US Open in 2013 face Ferrer, but against the Swiss, double Grand Slam winner, it gives a different dimension to this victory.
       

         And no matter if Switzerland had not the same bases as him on grass, this success there is a huge step forward for him who has so often been in the skin of the vanquished in this kind of game. “This is a great performance for Richard of beating Stan, who is in sparkling form, and 5 sets “, was told Novak Djokovic, his next opponent at its Press conference. “ It’s hard to have managed to compete mentally with Stan that has vastly improved on that.

It would have been hard to lose. This is an incredible victory, I am happy with what I did. I’ll try to do the same against Djokovic, against which I lost in Paris. “
       

         As much as it was 100% quarter-final success, both in the semifinals, it’s a different story. In short, it lacks more than to give a final note to his crazy obstacle course. This is great: face Novak Djokovic, world number one stuffed full and double winner in London, the match that awaits Friday will be another category.
       

         And for good reason: “Nole” Gasquet beat 11 times out of 12. In case of victory, the word “exploit” would be almost too small to illustrate what he has achieved.
