Richard Gasquet has been pitted against Radek Stepanek in the first round of the French OpenYou can watch and bet on live streaming tennis at bet365Richard Gasquet will be aiming to delight the fans in France with a lengthy run here at Roland Garros. The world No. 16 has made a reasonably good start to the season, by winning 20 of his 31 matches to date. Whilst few people are touting Gasquet as a serious contender for this year’s French Open title, it will be interesting to see what he can do here.
Gasquet’s first round opponent will be Radek Stepanek of the Czech Republic. Stepanek ranks just outside of the top fifty, and has won just over half of his matches this year. He enters this contest as the underdog, but his superior experience could provide him with something of an edge.
Following matches in 2009 and 2005, Stepanek currently holds a 2-0 head to head record against Gasquet. Both matches went the full distance, though neither match was played on clay. The dynamics of Monday’s showdown should be entirely different, and Stepanek may struggle to maintain his winning streak against the Frenchman.
