David Ferrer will face Richard Gasquet on Sunday in the final contest of the Spain versus France Davis Cup World Group semi-finalYou can watch and bet on the action from the Davis Cup at bet365Following a defiant performance from the doubles pairing of Michael Llodra and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, the Davis Cup World Group semi-final between Spain and France is currently poised at 2-1 in Spain’s favour. In order for the French side to win this tie, they need to hope that Gilles Simon can produce an unlikely victory over Rafael Nadal.
Should Simon somehow prevail, the baton will be passed directly to Richard Gasquet. Gasquet, who was thrashed by Nadal on Friday, will then need to overcome world No. 5 David Ferrer. As things stand, it looks like the French team is out of contention for the Davis Cup title.
Gasquet currently has a 1-5 match record against Ferrer, and it doesn’t seem like he’ll have much of a chance on Sunday. With this contest being played on clay, the odds are stacked even more heavily in Ferrer’s favour. Even so, this might turn out to be a crucial match, and if it is, maybe Gasquet will be able to up his game.
