Indoor match on Hisense Arena. Robredo [6] advanced to 3rd of his 7 Grand Slam quarter-finals (lost them all), the only time in Melbourne. In the 4th set he saved a double mini-SP at 4-all against the four years younger [17] opponent. # Seven years later they face each other again on the same court, and once more Robredo prevails, that time after more dramatic 4-setter (serves at 4:5 in 2nd, comes back from *1:4 in 3rd, and saves two set points in the 4th set). On the second occasion Gasquet was ranked higher…
