The most interesting – and longest awaited one will be between 36 year old […] Continue to read full article...

By Scoop Malinowski Richard Gasquet has won sixteen ATP singles titles in his pro tennis career but today’s title in Auckland surprised even himself.

2 Comments · Posted by Scoop Malinowski in Articles
Tennis rivalries can evolve in the most unpredictable and odd directions. And one that caught my eye is the unique head to head series of Richard Gasquet and Fernando Verdasco. Their first match was in 2004 In Buenos Aires, won by the 18 year old Gasquet over the 20 year old lefty from Spain 26 […] Continue to read full article...
