Roger Federer vs Richard Gasquet.
England, Wimbledon. 01.07.2021.
In the second round of the Wimbledon tournament, Roger Federer will face the world's 56th ranked player, Richard Gasquet. These men have faced each other 10 times on the tour, all ten of which have been won by the Swiss. Moreover, Federer did not lose a single set to the Frenchman. Maybe at least at Wimbledon Richard will be able to correct the terrible statistics in matches against Federer.
Roger Federer: unplayed rounds
Federer did not finish his first-round match at Wimbledon against Mannarino, the Frenchman withdrew from the tournament at the score of 2-2. The Swiss in his post-match interview expressed his condolences not only to Mannarino but also to Serena Williams, who was also injured in the first round of the current draw. In general, we note that Federer now is not like he was 2 years ago when the Swiss played in the final of Wimbledon 2019. There is a feeling that Roger will lose at least one set to his opponent in the upcoming game. Before Wimbledon, Roger had an unsuccessful performance in Hull, knocking Ivashka out of the tournament, but lost in three sets to Auger.
Richard Gasquet: not the strongest French player
Just before the start of Wimbledon, Richard Gasquet played a tournament in Nottingham, England. The Frenchman was stronger than Soeda and Clarke, but withdrew from the match against Bolt at 1-1 in the sets. Gasquet knocked out another Japanese, Sugita, in the first round of the Wimbledon tournament. The player had to play four sets, Richard beat his opponent 3-1. It should be noted that the last tournament, which Richard Gasquet won, was the competition in Hertogenbosch, held in 2018 on grass.
Betting and prediction
Roger Federer is a superstar and all that, however, the Swiss is soon to be 40 years old, and with all due respect, to the great, but it is obvious that Federer is now far from his best form. It is for this reason that we think that we should pay attention to bet on the outsider in this pairing. Richard Gasquet has a historic, perhaps the last opportunity of his career, if not to take revenge for a bunch of defeats, at least to win the game. We offer the following betting options for the game: W1 for 1.20, Set Betting - Match Roger Federer 3-0 for 1.952.
