– With his epic win over #11 Milos Raonic ( he even saved 1 MP, winning 7-5 in the fifth), the talented frenchman Richard Gasquet finally broke his curse of not progressing further than R4 in any Grand Slam since Wimbledon 2007 [ till yesterday he had a 1-14 record on GS R4’s].
– Earlier on last week no one thought that Milos Raonic would be on the Top-10 on the following week : the Canadian was experimenting a rough patch, winning just 2 of his last 7 matches and on a coach changing period ( he dumped Galo Blanco, and hired former Top-5 Ivan Ljubicic). Plus, he was giving us the sensation of having stagnated on his developing, as his ground game developments where nowhere to be seen on 2013.
This week has been a good one for the young guys, specially for Grigor Dimitrov, born in 1991 and Top-50. This week has been great for him, beating Brian Baker, fellow youngstar and #13 Raonic, Melzer and Baghdatis, and pushing Murray to the edge; serving for the 1st set and having a break lead in the 2nd. ( he lost 76 64)
- The crazy and talented frenchman Benoît Paire
