The semifinal showed a difference between these two players possessing similar game-styles, not only in that particular match, but in their careers in general: Federer’s [1] two strokes (serve, forehand) were simply much better. The 21-year-old Gasquet [14] looked well in the opener, but at 5-all he lost two consecutive games leading 40/15 in both, which made an impact on his self-belief; he lost five games in a row in total, and the match was basically over after an hour of play. Between sets two and three he took a medical time-out.
