I missed the first set of Nadal vs Gasquet but saw the 2nd and Richard played well, just unfortunate for him he came up against the best. It's just wonderful watching Rafa on clay Yahoo

He always looks so comfortable out there.
Richard is a frustrating player to watch.. talented, superb b/h but so irratic .
Breaks Rafa and then gives away his next serve. Rafa played better in the first set IMO he let Richard back in the match in the 2nd set .,. but hey what the heck. Ok!

How often have we seen Rafa get broken, then he just breaks right back. It's almost like he becomes a little complacent, then he gets broken and it's a wake up call. Just a thought, don't quote me Wink

Well, at least the spectators got their monies worth, and like you say Haddie, what the heck Yahoo

Murray faces Fred Gil next in theoretically the easiest QF. Gil's on a run mind, he's beaten Monfils and Youzhny.

Never mind. It is expensive though over there; I assume the only reason the likes of Nadal and Federer don't retire at the age of 20 is because they lose all their money paying for toothpaste in Monte Carlo. Wink

I really hope Andy makes it to the semis and plays Rafa tough. It looks like it is going to be Fed-Ferrer and Andy v Rafa Semis, should be very tough but it is looking more like another Fedal final, which is great. Can't see anything but Rafa winning and winning convincingly.

Yes, you are right Haddie, can't believe Almagro went out. Don't worry Haddie, Rafa is taking this tournament. And can't wait for today's matches. As long as he is healthy I favor him over the field. Would really like to see him and Andy win out to the semis, that could be the most interesting match of the tournament, and very indicative of whether Andy is back or not.

Yes, yummy, it is great that Andy has started to get his groove back on the clay of all surfaces. I always felt that Andy with his speed and guile could be a great clay court player, but in the past he always seemed to underperform.

Yeah, Cats, but Melzer should have lost in RG QF! Remember Djokovic then? (That was a very traumatic experience for me! Sad)

This is very good from Murray so far. He's added some heavy topspin to his forehand and is dictating play nicely from the back of the court. He breaks again for 4-1.

I think Rafa is going to have a tough semi against Murray the way Andy is striking the ball off the ground. He looked incredible today, albeit against a weak opponent who really couldn't hurt him.

And Melzer, wow! Jurgen Melzer the reincarnation of Henri Leconte, he can hit any shot and also miss any shot, but today he was making everything. He hit more winners than errors on a horribly windy day with a slow clay court. Melzer deserved the victory, and well it was another one of those days for Fed. The tour is catching up with him and now he isn't just getting beat by Rafa and Nole, not a good sign.
