Gonzales leading Murray 2 sets to 1 at the moment.
Murray is not doing a lot of fisting today.

Pardon...

You know....thrusting his fist into the air everytime he makes a good shot, or wins a point.

Well the 2010 French Open is under way, and already Anne Keothavong has fallen at the first hurdle. Unfortunately the other two Brtiish women, Elena Baltacha and Katie O'Brien, also have tough first round matches. Andy Murray may be seeded 4th, but his first match is against the French Richard Gasquet. Gasquet mayn't be seeded but his current form is red hot. He has won his last ten matches in a row, and has just won the Bordeaux Open by beating Fernando Verdasco, the world number 9. Murray is going to have to play substantially better than in recent weeks in order to get past the first round. Whoever wins this match is likely to get through to the semi-finals at least.

There is little doubt that the draws for the Brits this time have for all 4 Brits been tough.

Watching it now on the red button.
Was Gasquet the guy who - at Wimbledon - had to compete with the crowd as well as Murray?

Yes, 2 years ago when Gasquet won the first two sets, Murray eventually got the crowd behind him and won the remaining 3 sets.

Thanks El Loro. (Memories not what it used to be y'know.)

Don't they have the use of Hawk-eye (I think it's called) for this championship?
