Gasquet DEMOLISHES Tipsarevic

Gasquet upsets Tipsarevic 6-3, 6-3, 6-1. In a humiliating 97 minute display of sheer destruction, Tipsarevic (9) was defeated by the 17th seed, Richard Gasquet. Throughout the entire match Tipsarevic struggled to find his range on his shots, and never got into his groove, making uncharacteristic unforced errors. Though he started out decently, Tipsarevic was broken in the 6th game of the 1st set, which allowed Gasquet to eventually take the 1st. With the momentum generated, Gasquet was able to take the 2nd and 3rd in dominating fashion. Tipsarevic made 33 unforced errors while Gasquet played some amazing tennis. The 17th seed banged in six aces and secured 29 out of 41 first serve points to get the better of the world number nine. His forehand worked perfectly for him and he was very aggressive in his approach in the contest. Gasquet launched frequent forays to the net and converted 17 out of 20 net points to assert his authority in the competition.
