Richard Gasquet - Roger Federer

Shanghai Masters tournament have reached it QF rounds and now stakes are really high. Players will get more than 100 grands and 180 ranking points. For many players it really nice deal and they will try even harder to reach Semis.

Richard Gasquet (30) - Not so long ago Frenchman won his challenger title. He played maybe not the best tennis, but it was enough for sure. Now he is back on Asia tour and he is playing very different tennis match by match, i guess he is improving.
Richard is not so tall, but he have a good serve, good backhand and good strategy. Main qualities of Richard is his head, he thinks very well, his shots are near perfection, especially from the onehanded backhand. Frenchman have 12/6 record on hard surface this year.

Roger Federer (2) - Maestro is still in very good shape this year, coming back to top 4 was big goal and he made it, now becoming No.1 in world is near to. It is like time machine for us, then Roger and Rafa was in the top. Maestro started this tournament without any struggles and he won easy ,we believe he is in good shape, he just need more time to be in best shape after Laver cup. Some people says Roger is better than few years, i can agree with it. Player from Switzerland plays very good tennis, he is still enjoyning it and playing like fresh player, but with all experience he is even more dangerous. Don‘t forget after long years waiting he already won two Grand Slam titles this year. Hunting for No.1 he will play even better than usual, it is his dream we can say, to be once more no.1.

In the end - I guess we will see Roger in good shape, but Richard Gasquet atfter so many hard matches won't give up easily and he will try to bite. In one way Maestro will try to play confidedent style of tennis, one break and just keep his games safe. He won't push to much, so there is a big chance we will over 20 game's. Next thing Roger can make Gasqet run a lot or give him a set after that he won't be abel to compete.
