Richard Gasquet hitting easy.

Richard, as of today is ranked 84 in the world. His highest ranking in the world has been number 7 in July of 2007. He is an incredible mover on the court with exceptional shot making ability. He’s known for an incredible one handed backhand that can hit amazing winners. His down the line off that wing paralyzes opponents like a deer in the headlights. He made it to the third round of the US Open this year against Nadal. Losing in three, the last set was 5-7. Nadal was better at playing the solid baseline game than Gasquet. Still. to be making it to the third round at 36 years old is no small achievement. Enjoy the “easy hitting” of Richard Gasquet youtu.be/YZCcM7FYFbk


In this compilation Richard is not hitting easy at all, he’s nailing the ball in live tournament play. Roger That Tennis has put together a nice series of the Whip Backhand of Gasquet. It is interesting to note that his grip is more exaggerated than Federer’s: youtu.be/U5qEHGloslI
